And that\u2019s not all. The 21 verses of Psalm 145 are a virtual tour of God\u2019s unsearchable personality, and when we see Him as He is, we realize we should approach Him with dignity, humility, reverence, fear, and awe. Too much of our worship is informal, subjective, and devoid of moments of silence and holy reverence. Certainly there\u2019s a warmth and simplicity to worship, but let\u2019s not lose the grandeur of God\u2019s unsearchable greatness.<\/p>\n<p>God is a sovereign King. His unlimited power and His endless authority demand our deepest reverence. How wonderful to be lost in the wonder of His Person and overwhelmed by the splendor of His majesty! That can best happen when we take time for stillness, survey His masterful creation, search His Book, and imagine His heavenly throne. May there always be a \u201choly, holy, holy\u201d refrain rising from our soul.<\/p>\n<p><em>Where there is no awe there will be little worship.<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>John Watson<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised.
