Worship is not something we "work up," it is something that "comes down" to us, from the character of God.

Contentment is an undervalued grace.

The Father did not require the death of Christ to persuade Him to love us. Christ died because the Father loves us.

It is only when we want to take our lives out of the Father’s hands and have them under our own control that we find ourselves gripped with anxiety. The secret of freedom from anxiety is freedom from ourselves and abandonment of our own plans. But that spirit emerges in our lives only when our minds are filled with the knowledge that our Father can be trusted implicitly to supply everything we need.

The foundation of worship in the heart is not emotional ("I feel full of worship" or "The atmosphere is so worshipful"). Actually, it is theological. Worship is not something we "work up," it is something that "comes down" to us, from the character of God.

God has chosen us. Our status is not a matter of our worthiness, but of His love.

Where God is at the center of things, worship inevitably follows.
