What Does It Mean for Us That God Is Worthy?

In our own lives, the worthiness of God helps us to process our circumstances. When we follow Christ Jesus, the perspective from which we view the world shifts. Instead of being self-focused, our realization of the worthiness of the Lord moves our hearts to worship Him! Like David, we begin to realize, He is our strength. Through the Holy Spirit, we have the strength of the Living God living in us! The Lord is our Rock, our Fortress, and our Savior. God protects, shields, saves and keeps us safe. He is worthy of our praise indeed. David concluded Psalm 18:

One of the hardest realities we face in our daily lives is the challenge to make sense out of the pain and suffering in this world. The injustice and unfairness which wreaks havoc on our lives can blur our perspective on the worthiness of God. When we are faithful to continue seeking Him in His Word and through prayer – even allowing Him to speak to us through a beautiful scene of His creation – God is faithful to remind us of His presence.

He is not far off, as Scripture promises, but near to us. Through Christ Jesus, He is in us. Worship to the One True God rights our hearts when the world presses in on us. Life carries its share of trials and hardships, but Worthy is God. He will right all wrongs, and heal all hurts, in His time.
