Thoughts in Worship
Message Magazine's Online Devotional for Wednesday, September 28, 2016
We are focusing on getting to know God from the perspective of John the beloved.
Today’s Scripture Focus: “…Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” (John 14:13).
Membership really does have its privileges. Sounds like an old commercial, doesn’t it? Only this time the privileges of which we speak are of far greater value than any charge card can afford, or 1980s slogan can inspire. These privileges are directly related to yesterday’s topic of fresh worship. And fresh worship has everything to do with joining the family of God.
Far from a self-aggrandizing man puffing up his chest in media wanting everyone to look at him and all of his so-called accomplishments, our heavenly Father has limitless accolades to His credit. He is the creator of the universe. He has given all of heaven in the single gift of Jesus Christ to redeem us from sin and eternal death. All of earth awaits good and perfect gifts from Him. He causes the sun to rise upon the just and the unjust. Even the little sparrow can count on Him for her daily food. The earth is gladdened when He causes showers of blessing to fall. Nothing escapes His attention.
How is it, then, that this great God would be so beneficent and merciful as to elevate us to His high and holy presence when we pray? How is it that His ear is always open to hear the sincere prayers of submitted people? Human words and understanding are too limiting to express an answer to this. Suffice it to say that since God’s record is spotless, and He said it, we can take it to the bank! Jesus said that the Father gets glory when He answers prayers offered in His spirit and name. These are the kinds of prayers on which Jesus can stake His reputation. When we rest our faith in Christ, and are willing to do His will, that which we pray is welcomed in heaven. It is music to God’s ears. It brings Him honor.
It is true that membership in the family of God has its privileges, and all are welcomed.—L. David Harris (www.DavidWritesaLot.com)
