Songs for Worship #17

Welcome to the Sunday Series

Last year from January to June I wrote a series on
Why We Worship  where I considered an attribute of God each Sunday.


At different times people mentioned to me about a song that a post reminded them of so I thought that I would now go through those attributes again with a song for each one.







I hope you will follow along with me.



                         Looking today at 



God is Wise









Perfect Wisdom of Our God


The perfect wisdom of our God,
Revealed in all the universe:
All things created by His hand,
And held together at His command.
He knows the mysteries of the seas,
The secrets of the stars are His;
He guides the planets on their way,
And turns the earth through another day.


The matchless wisdom of His ways,

That mark the path of righteousness;

His word a lamp unto my feet,
His Spirit teaching and guiding me.
And oh, the mystery of the cross,
That God should suffer for the lost
So that the fool might shame the wise,
And all the glory might go to Christ!



Oh grant me wisdom from above,

To pray for peace and cling to love,

And teach me humbly to receive
The sun and rain of Your sovereignty.
Each strand of sorrow has a place
Within this tapestry of grace;
So through the trials I choose to say:
“Your perfect will in your perfect way.”

Why We Worship 17





I am taking time each week to ask myself "Why we worship"



Man thinks he is getting wiser year by year.


          God is not getting wiser year by year 

                                  because God already is wise 

                                            and God always has been wise.










 God has all the wisdom that it is possible to have so there is 
no wisdom that God can not have  -  He is all-wise.









No-one has ever had wisdom to match God.


Some men in the Bible were highly recognised by God, two of these being Enoch and Job but neither were as wise as God and neither of them would have ever considered themselves to be anywhere near as wise as God.


Solomon is always remembered for his wisdom which he had asked God for but even though God had given him great wisdom again he did not reach the standard of God's Wisdom.









Whatever wisdom we may have will always be imperfect 
but God's wisdom is perfect. 



We must give God the honour and respect He is due because of His Wisdom.








Have you let go of your wisdom and accepted that God is the only wise God and worthy of our trust and worship?
