The Treasure of Worship Con't

Our songs are among the Lord’s favorite keepsakes of our worship. Born from a divinely created heart, offered up with divinely appointed talents and received with divine appreciation, songs of pure worship are saved by God for that moment when we are gathered around His throne, singing His praises in ultimate adoration. Revelation 15:2-3 paints a beautiful picture of the victorious ones standing in heaven and singing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb – beautiful words of pure worship offered up by God’s servant centuries ago. The Lord has kept those words of worship close to His heart all this time in anticipation of this heavenly worship service. Let us sing our songs of worship with the knowledge that perhaps, when our moment comes to stand before the throne, the worship service will contain the songs that our hearts sing to Him now. And when you reach the age of eternity, you and the Lord can explore your box of worship mementos together, tracing your growth, seeing your development and rejoicing over a life filled with the great and marvelous treasures of God.

Food for Thought:

1. Reading Matthew 6:21 and 13:44-46, how do you relate these verses to your life of worship?

2. Reading through Deuteronomy 32:1-14, write down the verse numbers from the Song of Moses which reflect: Who God is: What He has done: Who should benefit from this worship:

3. Following the pattern found in the Song of Moses, write a song of worship to the Lord which He can place in your box of eternal mementos for use in His eternal worship service.
