Who Do We Worship?

 

Me:  The music is interesting.

Prodigal:  I wonder what people think when we sing for the Lord.

Me:  Well, we can worship in song but also with words.

Prodigal: Really?

Me:  Yes, Let me share some ways to worship.

 

This is from the book The Dynamics of Whorship by James P. Gills, M.D.

 

Who do we worship?

He is, first of all Elohim, the eternal Creator who always was and always will be; and He is El Shaddai, our strength, the source of comfort, confidence, and nourishment.  He is Jehovah-jireh, who has seen our needs and provided for them even before we know them, and Jehovah-nissi, the One who still calls us to rally around Him so He can perform miracles on our behalf.  He is Jehovah-rophe, our kind Physician, and Jehovah-shalom, our peace in every situation, regardless of how circumstances may appear.  Jehovah-tsidkenu gives us His righteousness in exchange for our sins, and Jehovah-m’kaddesh sets us apart for His purposes through His own precious blood.  He is Jehovah-shammath, who is always present with us and in us, and Jehovah-rohi, the gentle Shepherd who leads us to quiet waters and green pastures.  Jehovah-elyon is the Most High exalted above all, and Jehovah-hoseenu knows us even in our mother’s womb.  Jehovah-eloheenu is the Lord our God;  Jehovah-eloheka is the Lord, Israel’s God; and Jehovah-elohay is the Lord my God.  Finally, He is Jehovah-sabaoth, the Lord of all the hosts of heaven and Earth.

 

This is who we worship!  Kinda of amazing isn’t it!

 

And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

2 kings 23:25
