Sorry for missing a few days
You know I want to continue in a vein of thought…in watching American Idol it becomes apparent that people want to worship something…they boo..they cheer, cry, support strongly people they look up to..often times waaay beyond what is healthy. What I have been talking about is putting God in a place of worship, reverence and awe…in a place far above all the “crap” here on earth. We don’t look up to, idolize, revere someone we see as “common”. God has to be placed in His rightful position..above all…on the throne..worthy of all our praise, worship, confidence and trust!
Look at Ephesians again 1:20-23 AMP talking about what God’s power and what He did for Jesus - 20Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],
21Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.
22And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church],(A)
23Which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].
now does God or Jesus sound common? Uhhh…don’t think so…The power to raise dead to life…far above every power and authority…a name above all names…has placed all things under His feet… filled all things with himself …everlasting…eternal…now and to come forever…
I got to say..if that doesn’t build your faith and give you someone to worship…geeesh..what could? Yep I think I am going to hang with Jesus …who else would you want to start out your day with…hold onto as your day develops….. and talk to as you drift off to sleep??
