Complete Worship

On my iPod I have a song entitled, You are Worthy, by Hillsong. It is one of my favorite songs of worship that speaks of God's great worth and how He is deserving of not just some, part, or what's left of what I have, but He is worthy of ALL that I am.

Sunday, we will/did look at the the story of Cain and Abel. Here you find that Abel brought his very best, the first fruits of his labor, and the firstborn of his livestock as an offering to the Father. His brother Cain brought a meager portion of what was easy and comfortable. Abel gave and sacrificed what was his very best to give. Cain gave what required no sacrifice and what was comfortable and normal.

There are many passages throughout Scripture that speak of God's desire for ALL of his people, meaning all of each person. just to name a few, read the story of Abraham and Issac, Job, Jesus and the rich young ruler, or passages like Heb 11:4 and Revelation 3:16. Because of his disobedience Cain's life ended up being one of toil, misery, and isolation. Even still, God's grace was evident in his life. (to find explanations of that, be in your small group on Sunday :))

My prayer for you and I is that we do not hold back in our worship, devotion, and service to the Father, but that with total abandon and complete sacrifice, we worship our Father in Heaven.

Below is the song I mentioned above...
You are worthy oh Lord, of all honor.
You are worthy to receive all the praise.
In your presence I live and with all I have to give,
I will worship you, honor you and glorify your holy name....
