Text: Matthew 6; John 4

Bob Sorge, in Exploring Worship, writes:

“Even now, around the throne in the heavenlies, cherubim and seraphim and angels and creatures and the saints of all ages are lifting their voices to sing the holiness of our God. Thus “high praise” is a reference to the praise that is occurring high above us right now, the praise that is ascending to the Father from before the throne. I believe it is possible for us, here below, to participate now in that “high praise.” By listening with our spirits, we can discern the type of song being sung around the throne. As “Holy, holy, holy” resounds in the heavenlies, the earthly choir can join in and sing, “Holy, holy, holy.” When the angels are singing, “Praise befits his majesty,” the saints here can also sing, “Praise befits his majesty!” We can have a two-part antiphonal choir: the heavenly choir sings praises unto the Lamb, and the earthly choir responds with songs of praise. May we have that “high praise” today, “in earth as it is in heaven”! (page 83).

In today’s devotion, take time to ask of Him less and to worship Him more.
