it is alway a time of rejoicing,
when God come make a room for Him
in our life in His presence.
Behold he comes
Come and see and exalt His Name
Behold he comes
Let us come and worship Him
You are the Christ the Son of the Living God
Soveriegn God of all
I worship you(7x)
It's the third verse of the thirty-fourth Psalm.
When I read the story of the Epiphany, it is as If David wrote the words as an invitation
to the three wise men.The three kings came
to Christ and did exactly what David commanded. They fell at the Lord's feet. They worshiped Him and gave Him gifts. How could they do that to an infant in poor surrounding? Because Christ the King was the son of the living God was magnificent One, as a king demanded devotion. Too often we approach God differently. We approach Him as if by our actions or words we could make Him more magnificent or more kingly, as if God needed Boost in self-esteem. Such thinking never entered David's mind or the minds of the wise men. When you magnify an object under a microscope, you don't make The object any bigger. What you magnify is Your vision.
Likewise, when you exalt a king, you do not
Pronounce him as king. He is already is.
Magnifying and exalting God are functions of
our vision and humility, not of His revelation
or His promotion. He already who is who was
to come. The wise men did not bring gifts to enhance Christ's power on this earth. Nor did they comes as heralds of heaven's court to place a crown on Jesus' head. His coronation had been held before time began. The wise men came with one thought in mind: To see the King. To accept his rule. And that, tha act of Worship worthy of our God. As the song say
I worship you!!! We worship you!!!
