This song Ever be by Bethel has been resonating with me strongly over the past few days.
I think it’s because I so strongly believe in its message.
As Psalm 96 so powerfully reminds us, our worship finds a limitless source of inspiration in the excellencies of our God. Because He is who He is we find no shortage of “new songs” to express the awe that His presence inspires.
It is when our hearts shift from Him to the many distractions of our age that we feel the emptiness of misplaced devotion.
But just one glimpse of Jesus corrects that in a moment. His goodness, His Love, it realigns our hearts, reminding of us of who it is that we were made for, why it is that we breath and what it means to be alive. Our Hearts beat again and our lives are given to worship.
I pray that we would constantly glimpse Jesus so that His praise would ever be on our lips. Not just any praise, but an all consuming praise of grandeur that worthily reflects the God of its origin.
“I pray that we would ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name” Psalm 96:8.
Jesus, you will be praised.
Much Love
Matt
