All over the world, believers worship
God in many different ways; too many to count really. |
| However, when we are
truly worshipping Him "in spirit and in truth" as it is in John 4:23-24, the
method really becomes irrelevant. Even though methods may vary, the outcome of
true worship is always the same. God is always exalted…not us. |
| The word worship really means to bow down, to reverence, to fall flat
(Revelation 1:17). Praising God often involves thanking Him for all that He has
done and continues to do for us and on our behalf. However, when we truly
worship Him, we exalt Him just because of who He is. He is more glorious than
we can ever imagine and is worthy of our worship. "Exalt the Lord and worship
at His holy mountain." Psalm 99:9

| Wayne Gretzky is arguably the greatest hockey player who ever played
the game. His nick name is "The Great One" and for good reason. When he retired
in 1999 he held forty regular-season records, fifteen playoff records, and six
All-Star records. Upon his retirement he was immediately inducted into the
Hockey Hall of Fame and his jersey number (99) was retired by the NHL for all
teams. (Source: Wikipedia) His abilities and accomplishments as a hockey player
were fantastic. If you get on YouTube and watch a clip of his highlights you
will see a series of fantastic plays and a level of skill and athleticism that
is jaw-dropping. I said all this to set up the following quote from Gretzky.
Gretzky once said, "Great hockey players don't skate where the puck is. They
skate where it's going to be." Gretzky should know. In other words, great
players are those with the knowledge of the game and innate sense of the game
that tells them where the puck will be. They skate to the place where the puck
is going to be so they can take advantage of what is going to happen in just a
second or two. They prepare ahead of time. They help their team by advancing
the puck or by scoring because they know where to be before it occurs to
others. In a word they anticipate. So much of life is anticipating. How often
have we failed to anticipate a little thing and had a problem as a result? We
go on a trip without our keys because our spouse took us to |
