I am taking time each week to ask myself "Why we worship"
One of the things about God that we may find hard to understand and perhaps never understand fully, but just have to accept that it is true,
is that
is that
God
always has existed
and
always will exist
So today I'm thinking about worshipping God because 
We were born and we will die and that is the cycle of life that we understand
but we are not like God.
He has always existed in the same way: fully and completely as God.
So we must cry
Have you grasped the "who was and is and is to come" ?
Do you worship Him even though you may not fully understand Him?
I absolutely love this because we worship because of who God is:) He is eternal and amazing and this post just made me smile huge! thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you and I am glad you smiled, we need to do more of that while we worship him.
DeleteI was just thinking about this the other day... He IS eternal... And is, was, and yet to come. How awesome and powerful is THAT??
ReplyDeleteThanks for that great reminder and linking up with #EverydayJesus

ReplyDeleteHi Susannah, I enjoy linking up with the Faith & Fellowship blog hop, great way to meet other likeminded bloggers and to read other good posts. I'll think about the co-hosting .
DeleteThis is so powerful! And so true. He is worthy of our praise.
ReplyDeleteHi Charlene, nice to meet you, and I sort of really have as I have just hopped over to your blog and read your last post and left a comment. Then I added you to my circles. Thanks for your encouragement, hope to see you again.
DeleteI really am loving this series. I love those words... who was and is and is to come. Such comfort in those words and yes we should worship Him because of this truth. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Sandra.
ReplyDeleteHi again Beth, I so enjoy doing it myself, sets me up for worshipping at church on Sunday mornings because I focus on what I have written for this each wee. It is good to be focused to prepare our hearts for worship.
Deletei read somewhere once "we were made to worship. so 24/7 we are worshiping something. if you're not worshiping God, then you are worshiping an idol" - i have always remembered it because it's a good reminder!
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn, nice to meet you. Very true, we were made to worship and we should think on that more often
DeleteI love the words to that song...sometimes I do just stop and think what I am singing. ETERNAL...such an amazing God. And He loves us! Visiting from Spiritual Sundays
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, thanks for dropping in from Spiritual Sundays. I thoroughly agree He is amazing and He loves us, fantastic.
DeleteWhenever I read Revelation I am blown away by this truth! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Essential Fridays.
Blessings

Hi again Mel, you know I enjoy Essential Fridays and I love this truth as well.
DeleteSome great thoughts! Thanks <3
ReplyDeletenice to meet you Julia, and thanks for the encouragement
DeleteWorthy is the Lamb!
ReplyDeleteAmen Sandra
DeleteI have lived in Revelation so many times, and that is what keeps me focused in Him. The world issues can drive me/us nuts, but concentrating on the fact that we will be with Him forever and He's the only One we can rely on. That's my goal... Thanks for sharing so straightforwardly. A necessity in our world.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for your encouragement, indeed we must say what we mean and mean what we say.
DeleteOur lives should be worship - every single day.
ReplyDeleteExactly Susan, that's why I'm trying to focus in personally for a week on each of these attributes so that it becomes more instinctive every day
Deleteloving how the eternal is such a strong point made by today's beginning of Lent -
ReplyDeleteAsh Wednesday - my post today
more affirmation...
hi there, eternal is way beyond my scope of understanding but this certainly is the time of the lead up to when He made it possible for me to have that eternal life.
Deleteperhaps you might consider adding a worship song to my #SONGSonSUNDAYS meme ?
ReplyDeletewelcome..
This is so amazing, I was just thinking last week how each Sunday during our church worship there has been at least one song centred around the attribute I had been focusing on so I was thinking of doing a series later on Songs but I didn't know that you had something so I must investigate yours again on Sunday.
DeleteI LOVE that verse in Revelation!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Woman to Woman's Word Filled Wednesday! God bless!
visiting from weekend brew today - I love the visual you have used for the eteranlity of God. Waves always make me think of God's love and how it keeps on coming no matter how I feel, what is happening around me or what will happen...it just keeps coming.
ReplyDelete"Who was and is and is to come" beautiful life-giving words. you remind me of a post that has only been in my mind about these words.!
Beautiful! He is worthy of our praise!

And it just blows my mind every time I try to imagine it. I'm so grateful He is more than I can wrap my mind around.
