I Like Quotes, Part One

I love quotes, mostly by other people. (now and then I quote myself, but I’ve heard that is just repeating yourself) I came across three quotes that really pushed me to think about the way I live. The quotes built on each other, so the order for me was important. Here is the first one.

“Worship is transcendent wonder.” — Thomas Carlyle

Wow. Transcendent and wonder. What better ways to describe worship and Our Lord!

Those two words really bring you back to the fact that because our God is not of this world, and we have His power within us, we are not limited by the confines of this world. What an extraordinary concept. That we are truly not limited by this world. I know we read that in God’s Word, but do I believe it for my everyday life? Do I really believe that God will work in super-natural ways and that I not only get to witness it, but be a part of it?

So that brings me to worship. When we are living a life of worship, we are living “out of this world.” We are having a super-natural experience when we worship. And I can live that way all the time if I put my heart into it. Worship is giving yourself to God in whatever you are doing. Putting Him and His ways first in your life. I believe that. I believe that worship is our love song to God and the possibilities are as individual as each person. So I need to remember those words. Transcendent and wonder. Like they said in the 60’s, “Outta this world man!” That’s my God. And it could be my life.
