Devotional: Day 2379

Greetings,

We were created for a divine purpose. Our lives have meaning. Humanity was created to worship the Living God. By worshiping Him, we are exalting and lifting Him higher than the other things in our lives. Isaiah saw God as high and lifted up. Since He dwells in the midst of our praises, we enthrone God in our worship. We give Him a place to dwell, or reside in our lives, families and activities.

When you stop and think about it, worry does the very opposite. Instead of lifting God up, worry elevates the things we’re concerned about to a level that’s higher than Him. Worry causes us to doubt God’s ability and question whether His goodness is adequate. Instead of enthroning God, it gives our problems a place to dwell. That should be the last thing we want.

Father God, help me to “dethrone” worry and stress in my life. Rather than elevating my problems and allowing them to be lifted high, I want to exalt You! You alone are deserving of my praise. I want to lift You up in my life today for You are deserving and worthy of my praise.

Today, I’m worshiping with Anthony Brown and “Created to Worship, Not to Worry.”
