If the title of this post were a Jeopardy question, the answer would be:
What are all things we “have” in relation to God.
Think about it…when we buy someone a gift, often it is something that is a surprise or unexpected (unless someone spills the beans). When we give God our worship (which is all that we are and do: Romans 12:1 & Colossians 3:17), we are giving Him something that He created. We offer back to the One who created that which He created. There is nothing that we can give, write, sing, play, do, say, act,…whatever that doesn’t originate from Him. We never surprise Him with our worship.
It’s mind boggling when you think about it.
Romans 11:36 reads:
“For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen”
“All Things” pretty much covers everything…anything that we can offer.
I have one of these on my desk. I’ve had it for a while, although it did get pushed to the back by magazines and papers (I have some piles…don’t judge me). As I was cleaning the desk the other day, I saw it and got to thinking about how, if we are honest with ourselves (and God), we would much rather have something like this in life than depend completely upon God or even come before Him in prayer.
the waa:
We all worship something (sports, music, the list goes on…) – but GOD commands, desires, deserves our genuine worship! Our worship of GOD is soooo much more than Sunday mornings! It must be our entire life – a 24/7-kinda thing.
Good Friday was six weeks ago today – I pray that each day (not just a single Friday each year) would be a profound reminder of what Christ accomplished on that Wonderful Cross (and the following SUNDAY)…a blessed Déjà vu!
