Good morning, Family:
Praise God for a brand new morning and new mercies. What does it mean to Worship God? We worship God because of who God is. We worship the majesty of God. We worship the glory of God. We worship the Holiness of God.
Worship is what makes us fall to our knees and sometimes even to lay prostrate with our entire body. The power and glory of God causes our knees to buckle and our Spirit to collapse in utter reverence to the Awesomeness of God.
Psalm 99
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
Adonai is king; let the peoples tremble.
He sits enthroned on the k’ruvim; let the earth shake!
2 Adonai is great in Tziyon;
he is high above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise your great and fearsome name (he is holy):
4 “Mighty king who loves justice, you established
fairness, justice and righteousness in Ya‘akov.”5 Exalt Adonai our God!
Prostrate yourselves at his footstool (he is holy).6 Moshe and Aharon among hiscohanim
and Sh’mu’el among those who call on his name
called on Adonai, and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the column of cloud;
they kept his instructions and the law that he gave them.
8 Adonai our God, you answered them.
To them you were a forgiving God,
although you took vengeance on their wrongdoings.
9 Exalt Adonai our God,
bow down toward his holy mountain,
for Adonai our God is holy!
