The King of Heaven

Christ is the recipient of all worship, and we are the bearers of that worship who have the honor, privilege, and duty to offer it to Him. The heavens have given authority to His name so that all creation may lift it above all the earth.

We are designed to worship at all times. When we turn our gaze away from God, the danger is that we are being designed to worship; if we do not worship Him, we will worship other things that are not Him. Therefore, we must keep Him in our minds at all times. So that when the day of trouble comes, it is not the situation that has our worship or in moments when God delivers to us things we have been waiting for or has promised us. These do not become more important than Him.

When man strayed and sinned, Christ was chosen as the perfect offering to take our place. The best of heaven was taken in exchange, although this exchange did not seem fair in our eyes. How do we exchange the best that exists for someone dead in sin?

But God valued us so much, and His purpose was so strong that not even death could keep us away from Him for long. He took the only person who could perfectly conquer death to set him as a measure for us by giving us life in Him.

His obedience out of love for God gave us access to the design God thought for His creation, that we would be with Him, and having conquered the power that reigned on Earth (death), makes Him worthy of worship and exaltation.

Let us worship without fear and in freedom, for His LOVE CONQUERED DEATH and has given us FREE ACCESS TO WORSHIP HIM.

Prayer:

Father, allow us to know you more. May you be the center of our lives. May you continue to be revealed in our hearts and minds so that we can give ourselves daily in worship, passion, and surrender. You are the most important thing, so we want to surrender our hearts to you, King of Heaven. We thank you for the sacrifice on the cross that made us acceptable in the beloved, giving your life in exchange for ours. In your name, Amen.
