I love to say that not only is the throne room of God a place of reverence, it's always a place of refuge. So when everything else in life seems to be shifting, or breaking and shaking apart, there's a place that is always stable, safe, and constant. When we draw near to God in worship, and approach His throne, we tap into that. It's a very re-assuring place, where we're reminded that there's a God on His throne, and even when we don't understand everything, we can trust it to Him.

An old pop music producer once said that there are really only four kinds of song a person can write: "I love you/I hate you/go away/come back!" That's a funny observation.

Who on Earth are we that the awesome King of all eternity would spare a thought in our direction? Why would the God of yesterday, today, and forever- the One who was, is, and is to come- choose to bestow His loving attention upon the likes of us? The God of unspeakable glory is speaking to us in unmistakable words of love and grace.

Praise is a contradiction of pride. Pride says 'looks at me,' but praise longs for people to see Jesus.

There is no lapse in His character or inconsistency in His nature. Our God is everything he says He is… for now and all eternity.

God first seeks devotion to Him in the hidden place–worship when no one else is watching.

In heaven we will sing free of all the shame, sickness and sorrow that we encounter in the here and now.
