He is Worthy!
I woke up this morning with a phrase from a song---He is worthy! He is worthy!
Have you ever heard someone religiously say: Oh, He is worthy but I could never be worthy of Him and His greatness. That is false humility and actually a lie. He is worthy and He has made us worthy by becoming our substitute on the cross and taking our place so that we could become like Him. We are the righteousness of God IN CHRIST JESUS. It is IN HIM that we are made all that we are. He has made us to be LIKE HIM. It is all about Christ Jesus and Who He is in us and what He has done for us.
He is worthy. What does worthy mean? In Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language we read that worthy means having or possessing worth or excellence of qualities. So what does worth mean? It means that quality of a thing which renders it useful or which will produce an equivalent good in some other thing. The root word from which it comes has the primary sense of STRENGTH. Well, isn’t all this interesting. The Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Who are all God, Who are of inestimable value or worth, produce good in us. And that good is strength. We are worthy because He is worthy. He strengthens us with His goodness and His worth, His worthiness. We draw our strength from Him, that strength which His might, His boundless power provides. As we praise Him for His worthiness, we are actually receiving strength because of that honor and praise that we are giving to our Lord Jesus Christ. Honoring Him strengthens us. HE IS WORTHY!
Psalm 8:2 tells us that out of the mouths of even babies in the Lord has He ordained strength. When we praise Him, strength comes out of our mouths; power comes out of our mouths to still the enemy and avenger. His might, which is His power, which is His strength, is provided for us as we sincerely praise Him for Who He is, and honestly see Him as worthy of all praise. Praise Him today; give Him honor and glory. Adore Him and bow down before Him. HE IS WORTHY!
The Word of God tells us that He is worthy to receive glory.
Rev. 4:11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
He is worthy to receive glory and honor and power. Jesus is of inestimable value to receive our praise, our honor and reverence of Him. He is also worthy to receive the power of God for us, on our behalf. He did it all for us. HE CREATED EVERYTHING.
John 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM, AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANY THING MADE THAT WAS MADE. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
We are God’s created children and we were created to give Him pleasure and joy, to make His heart glad.
So today let’s focus on enjoying Him and giving Him joy in our relationship. Let’s honor our Father, Who is our parent; we are His children. Let’s give Him praise. Let’s make Him glad. Let’s adore Him and give Him reason to have pleasure in our relationship today and every day.
Let’s make this confession:
I PRAISE YOUR LORD, BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTHY TO RECEIVE MY PRAISE AND HONOR. YOU CREATED ALL THINGS AND WITHOUT YOU WAS NOT ANYTHING MADE THAT WAS MADE. THANK YOU FOR CREATING ME AND LOVING ME. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, ALL MY SOUL, ALL MY MIND, ALL MY STRENGTH. YOU ARE WORTHY! YOU ARE MY LORD! YOU ARE MY KING! YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING!
