Be Exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth – Psalms 57:5
This Psalms was written by King David when he was fleeing from Saul. The verses before and after Psalms 5 depict that David was in despair. Even in that situation David is exalting and worshipping God.
Worship can come when things are going as per our plan or in our favor. Like David, can we worship God in a situation of despair? Scripture says God is looking for a true worshipper – one who worships Him in truth and spirit.
We see true worship comes through suffering and not in abundance. May the Lord use the current day’s sufferings and disappointments to draw us closer to Him so that we may know Him in an intimate way and exalt and worship him like David.
Prayer: Father God, help us not be anxious but to worship you in truth and in spirit. In Jesus name, I pray – Amen!!!
