Psalm 65
Dear Brethren,
ADORATION
OF GOD
The art of adoring God seems to be almost entirely lost today! David shows
us how we may recover this lost art! Let us first ask ourselves what adoration
is! Four elements may be highlighted!
1. Adoration begins with Awareness of who God is!
2. It proceeds to a deep Appreciation of who He is!
3. Adoration engages the believer so deeply, he is absorbed by his thoughts of God!
4. Adoration is having the heart filled with Adulation!
AN
EXAMPLE OF WHAT ADORATION IS
The following text is an example of what adoration is! Note how one thought
leads to another in a powerful cascade!
"By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,
O God of our salvation,
You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth…
You who still the noise of the seas…
You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice.
You visit the earth and water it,
You greatly enrich it…
You water its ridges abundantly,
You settle its furrows;
You make it soft with showers,
You bless its growth.
You crown the year with Your goodness,
Your paths drip with abundance."
Psalm 65:5-11
A
CHALLENGE TO LEARN HOW TO ADORE GOD
The above text needs little explanation! All the things noted are fully self-explanatory!
Adoration is just being so filled with gratitude and love for God that the
heart and mind cannot but speak of His goodness. Learn how to adore God much
more!
1. Take time to reflect on all that God has done for you!
2. Let each item lead you to praise God with all your heart!
