He is worthy

 

Daniel 3:17-19

17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will rescue us from your hand, O king. 18 But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods nor worship the golden statue that you have set up.”

Daniel’s Friends Protected

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and his facial expression was changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He answered by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

 

 

King Nebby declares war on Israel and besieges Jerusalem, he steals stuff, he takes the best of the best and if you are Shad Shack and Benny… things are ok, they might even say “Our God made things good for us, and kept us safe… he is our secret sauce, our steroid”

 

Most of us would agree at that point in our life if we were them, we would agree to this sentiment “this is why you serve God, because he will take care of us- he will bless us”. 

 

But then things don’t go so well… The worship practice and the culture of life changes beyond what they expected.

 

Now they must worship the king… 

 

There was a problem in the last 20 years where we sold followers of Christ - wether we meant to or not - that we serve God because of his attributes.

 

How many young adults I have run into that now feel burned because…

They worked for a church and the pastor was a turd

They wanted to be the next Worship phenom and they weren’t

Their parents who were “Christians” got a divorce

I didn’t get the job at the big church

I didn’t get the husband, the wife, 

I didn’t get the supernatural power to heal…

I didn’t get the Ministry

 

 

Rev. 4:8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”

 

Worthy of veneration = worthy of exclusive service and worship.

Worthy - PERIOD! For no other reason than he is worthy. He is worth it! 

 

One thing we do not understand is that we are not here on earth for the sake of life on earth - Life on earth is just bootcamp for our eternal calling and work in eternity. 

 

Scripture is clear that we will work in heaven and we will be rewarded for our deeds while here on earth. 

 

 

So we know whatever it is God gives us, it will be something resulting in great joy. Maybe it will be different for each of us, who knows? But there is a reason to believe God has a particular way of rewarding his beloved.

It appears God enjoys rewarding his Children with increased and valuable roles of responsibility!

 

 

Ephesians 3:16-21 Reveal your love for me… help me understand how worthy you are of my life.

 

I have the belief that God wants me blessed, healthy, financially blessed, great marriage, fruitful ministry…

But I also understand that if none of that happens I will still worship him. 

 

Daniel 1:8 He set in place in his heart.. to never move. 

Set in his heart, mind, soul, spirit

Remember Christ word: love me heart, mind soul spirit.

 

let me ask you a question: how attractive is a gospel presentation… hey life might suck, it may get worse… but God is worth living for.
