Adoration ( Elements of Existence )

Look at Earth from the Heaven

I love the Lord, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.

Psalm 116:1
New King James Version (NKJV)


       Since God is our creator then we should adore him.   Of course not all humans believe this concept and that is their burden to overcome.   What will they adore?  Themselves?  Nature?  The Sun?  Nothing?

         As humans we are hardwired to have adoration for someone or something.   When we adore the ephemeral then our adoration is limited and small which makes our adoration futile and only temporal.  Are we lifting ourselves up to worship that which will only let us down?

        When people indicate that God has let them down, has done nothing for them, or doesn't even exist I wonder if they have opened a line of honest communication.  God is not some sugar daddy or Santa Claus who dotes on you providing material comfort.  Nor is He a genie from a bottle beckoned to grant your wishes.  God is God the Creator of Heaven and Earth.

         If you do not start with adoration when it comes to your Father in Heaven, then you are bound by the chains of your own self-love and a delusional desire for the earthly mortal things that will one day pass.  An eternal life in paradise is adoration of the One who created all things.


And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”
Revelation 5:13
New King James Version (NKJV)

Love

Love of God

        The Bible is a love story.  The Bible is the story of  God's love for His children and the love He asks of us.   Can you imagine the parent who does not love their child?    What kind of horrible parent would that be?   God has put us here for a reason and that reason has everything to do with love.

         Today I take a different approach in presenting a video of a song that never fails to move me when I listen to it and especially listen to the lyrics.   I think any parent can particularly relate to this great song by a singer who was originally a member of the Christian group 2nd Chapter of Acts.

         Take a listen and take note of the lyrics:

The Ultimate Valentine

The Lord is my Good ShepherdImage via Wikipedia


For You, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive, 
rich in faithful love to all who call on You.


Psalm 86:5

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)


       This is the time of year when thoughts of love are in the air.  Gifts of candy, flowers, and other tokens of remembrance will pass between friends, lovers, and spouses as the deepest of human feelings are expressed.  But human love is fragile. 

        Misunderstandings may sever relationships.  Love is not always forever for we humans who sometimes have a difficult time with forgiveness.  Our memories are often short as today's love can smolder into tomorrow's distrust and disgust.

        Then there is the One whose love is unfailing and eternal.  He is patient with us and sets the example for the way we should be.  God's love for us never dies.  Tell Him that you love Him.  Let Him know that you want Him in your life.  He is there for you in your times of greatest need.

  Though the mountains be shaken 
   and the hills be removed, 
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken 
   nor my covenant of peace be removed,” 
   says the LORD, who has compassion on you.


Isaiah 54:10

New International Version (NIV)
