Dear Friends
at Rise Up Lubbock,
You know
that I like my coffee. Well, I guess that is no secret… and I like setting on
my deck in the cool morning, absorbing the warmth of the cup and inhaling the
aroma of the coffee. It is… pleasant. No excuses, I just enjoy it. God is like
that when it comes to our praise. No excuses needed… He just enjoys it. Our
praises are like an aroma to His nostrils. Our praise rises to him like the
fragrance from the altar of incense in the tabernacle of the congregation, the
Tabernacle Moses built to God in the wilderness. Our hectic wilderness is the
world of job, boss, politics, and family. We feel the pressure and weights of
responsibility piled upon responsibility until we are drowning in the quicksand
of our wilderness. What we need to do is step out of the wilderness into the
Tabernacle of praise where participating in the worship of God creates an aroma
so pleasing to God. It is so pleasant there. It’s certain God is there and all
our problems can be solved there! It’s in that moment of serene meditation that
we become the people/person we were meant to be, and we are doing what we were
meant to do.
