Jesus Who Reigns Is Worthy Of WorshipMuestra

GOD’S SUFFICIENCY GOD’S SUFFICIENCY Worship is declaring God’s sufficiency and denouncing our self-sufficiency. Worship is recognizing our dependence on God and repenting of our independence from Him. In our passage (Revelation 3:14-22), Jesus called the church in Laodicea as “lukewarm.” Spiritually speaking what made this church “lukewarm”? In a word, pride. The church is declaring that they don’t need anything or anyone. The city of Laodicea is one of the richest in the region but when an earthquake struck, they rejected any outside help so also the church didn’t want to receive anything from God. Worship is seeing that He is everything and we are nothing. Do we really cry out “You’re all want.” “You’re all I need.” Do we pray as if our very lives depend on it? Do we read and listen to His Word as if it is crucial for our survival? When we have an important decision to make what is our first impulse? Was it to pray and to seek His will through His Word? Or, do we do so as a last resort? God should have the first word, the last word and every word in between. Today, as you worship, declare God’s sufficiency and denounce our self-sufficiency.
