inadequate praise...

Sunday I was preaching on why we should worship God, and I found myself feeling desperately inadequate. It seemed as though I would need several hours just to cover some of my favorite Bible verses (mostly from the Psalms). The more I trimmed the lesson down to a manageable length, the less adequate it seemed to be, to cover even the basic wonderful attributes of the Lord God. Finally, in desperation I simply shared my overwhelming sense of inadequacy...and that was where the spirit of the congregation seemed to meet with my spirit. It seems that when we are overwhelmed with the wonder and majesty of the almighty, that seems to be when we "get it" the best. I am in awe of God! And that seems to be a good place to be! (& a good place to be together.)
