Saturday, September 24: Isaiah 27- Saved to worship.

The last few chapters have been describing the day when the Lord settles accounts, defeats enemies, and restores Israel, His people.  The awesome and mighty day of the Lord. The last verse of the chapter provides an intriguing concluding snapshot of ‘that day.’ And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem (13).

The great triumph of that day is that God’s people will gather from all across the earth and worship the LORD! Worship is our crowning glory and our highest accomplishment/task/duty.

I thought about that picture, ‘that day’, when the salvation of the Lord is ultimately accomplished and worship will be our delight. ‘That day’ is the day when no inhibitions or concerns will dampen the worship of the Lord. ‘That day’ is God’s day when the inhabitants of His earth will sing His praise as it was meant to be from the beginning.

Tomorrow we will gather as a community of faith on the Lord’s Day to worship God. I caught a glimpse of our worship tomorrow as a rehearsal for the grand and glorious day in the future. Thinking of Sunday worship here on earth as rehearsal for ‘that great and awesome day’ gives weekly worship an interesting feel…

Think about it as you prepare today for your worship tomorrow.

All glory laud and honor to the redeemer king…

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty the King of creation…

Praise the name of Jesus.  Praise the name of Jesus. He’s my rock, He’s my fortress He’s my deliverer in Him will I trust…

O O Praise Him, O O praise Him. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
