Saturday, February 25, 2012 - Just Because

"Give honor to the LORD, you angels; 
give honor to the LORD for His glory and strength.
Give honor to the LORD for the glory of His Name.
Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness."
Psalm 29: 1-2
Card shops carry greeting cards for almost every occasion and purpose. Someone was even clever enough to create the "just because" card in case nothing else fits. How can you not feel the love when someone sends you a "just because" card?   
     The vast majority of our prayers are motivated by our needs and wants, either for ourselves or people we  love.  Maybe today would be a good day to praise and worship God, "just because."
Almighty God, You're surrounded by angels who sing Your praises, but we want to add our voices to the chorus. You, the Lord of everything, wear a robe of splendid Light emitting from Your Character. Your holiness bathes those in Your Presence. Your majestic Voice commands the universe, yet You whisper to the distraught heart.  Listening attentively to You opens the deepest recesses of our souls to receive Your Peace and Joy.  Grace and Strength flow liberally from Your generous Hands through us when we spend time in Your Presence praising and worshiping You, our Great God and Mighty Savior.  You're the Light of heaven, the only Holy One Who merits honor and glory.  Accept and bless our efforts to listen to Your Voice and may Your Word ring Truth in our hearts and minds. May we bless You by obeying Your directions.   Help us take time to glorify and honor You to recognize more clearly Your Voice.  Accept our "just because" praises and worship. 
In the Name of Jesus Who said, "My sheep know My Voice."
