Getting In: The Gift of Worship


During the Christmas holiday we are bombarded with things to do and the race to meet expectations begins. We continue in our daily routines but we add to that a race to get gifts for people in time for Christmas. We have plenty of time to prepare for it, but for some reason we do not; or at least I don’t. The problem for me is getting the time in!

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. Matthew 2:11

In the above verse the wise men beheld Jesus and once they GOT IN His presence the only thing they could do was WORSHIP Him! They didn’t need someone to tell them to worship, they just felt compelled to do so.  We must learn to get in the presence of God. For some this may takes a minute or two and for some it may take longer than that. But we need the mindset; no matter how long it takes I must get in His presence. Why?

It said that after they worshipped, their gifts were opened and they presented their gifts to Jesus. My God; when we spend time in God’s presence worshipping Him, our gifts will manifest and we can give unto Him what belongs to Him; us and our gifts!

In God’s presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand pleasures for evermore. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.Get into worship!
