Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Let it be, let it be…Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.” Paul McCartney

“To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.” 1Tim.6.16 ESV

Anyone who has tried to listen to a radio with an out of date tuner, knows how difficult it can be turning the knob back and forth trying to tune in the desired station. And, until you do, you of course can’t enjoy the music. It not that the music isn’t there, the problem is tuning in to the right frequency to hear it. Now, God is neither lacking honor nor dominion, the music of His glory and government is all around us. The problem is that our hearts are not always tuned to it. This is why worship is so vital to spiritual health. In it we ascribe to God the glory due Him and tune our hearts to sing His praise. This often means speaking to our heart, turning the knob so to speak, and telling it out right, to give honor to God who has all honor and to bring us under His gracious rule. To say “amen” of course punctuates the message we are preaching to our heart and translates, “Let it be.” 10/29/2008 ts
