Deuteronomy 10:12-11:32; Song of Solomon 1:1-2:7; Luke 9:18-36
If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord … he shall offer it of his own voluntary will. Leviticus 1:2-3
The final overwhelming image of the preceding chapter is, “The glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle” (Ex. 40:34) and where the Lord dwells, worship is primary. That applies to church gatherings. But Paul reminds us that, “Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you … therefore glorify God in your body” (1 Cor. 6:19-20). Worship is not just for Sunday. Worship is essential in our daily life. Do we appreciate the divine Presence that moves with
us continually? That reality should evoke wonder and worship! —David W. Oliver
Blessed in Thy presence, we worship before Thee,
Own Thou art worthy, and worthy alone. —H. D’Arcy Champney
