Adoration for God

9 "This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one. '

Matthew 6:9-13

God, in his infinite wisdom, gives us here a template and methodology for how we should communicate with Him. We should always start by expressing our praise and adoration for what an awesome God He is. After all, He is God, the Creator of all things and the Master Designer, Healer, Lover and Friend of you and I and absolutely everyone else in this world that He designed in his mind before it ever existed. Before you ever took your first breath, God knew your name and He knew the struggles that you would face in your life. He knew choices that you would make – both bad and good; He knew how you would reject his love at first and yet He still created you; He knew that He would have to die a horrible and humiliating death on a cross in order to repair the broken relationship between you and Him as a result of your choices in life and yet He created you anyway with the power to choose because your love for Him and His love for you was much more important than even death as He wanted it to be authentic and real as a result of you being free to choose Him or reject Him. His love for you is more powerful than you could ever imagine. He accepts you right now – right where you are in your journey of knowing and loving Him; He accepts you unconditionally today, no matter what happened yesterday or what choices that you will make tomorrow as His love covers even your future mistakes and bad choices if you have accepted the redeeming gift of His Spirit into your heart and life. He is here today to comfort you in this fallen world and to hold you in his arms of love until that day when the two of you will be together, forever in paradise. Oh how He deserves to be praised and worshiped and adored this morning as God is good and God’s love will never end. Pour out your heart to Him today; tell Him how much you love Him as He is indeed worthy to be praised!
