WORSHIP WEDNESDAY (Chris Tomlin)
February 24, 2016Christian faith is ever to be growing and transforming to the end of life for those who are in Christ Jesus. Transforming faith reaches the depths of the heart, untangles the tentacles of affection, and reforms the very form of a child of God’s soul. The maturation of faith awakens early and often under the clear understanding and belief that the God of the Universe, the God of Creation, the Great I Am, is the Best Father of those who are His. The essence of Christian faith is not the general adoration of the unknowable. The child daily abides with the Father whom he knows and loves. Within that relationship, the divine power of Spirit transforming faith is released.
If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! Luke 11:11
I worshiped this morning to this reminder from Chris Tomlin to the reality of who God is – a good, good, Father.
Thus, the essence of Christian prayer
is not general adoration, but definite, concrete petition.
The right way to approach God is to stretch out
our hands and ask of One who we know has the heart of a Father.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer
