Glory to God in the Highest!

12/19/2011

 
Luke 2:13-14
    And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, [14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 

   

What a day we had at the house of God yesterday. Our choir has been working on the Christmas Cantata for about four months now and they presented it to the church yesterday morning. My how our hearts were lifted in praise unto the King of glory. That was one of the best choir performances I have ever heard. They all sang as if they knew the Lord they sang about and it had a special touch of God upon it. Each of the song selections praised and exalted the majesty and glory of our precious Lord. I know that He must have been pleased becuase He was certainly exalted through their singing!

Then last night our children presented their Christmas play for all to see. We had many visitors who came to see their loved ones perform and it was a special time as well. It was a simple play, but the message was very profound. They presented the Christmas story in a beautiful way. What I loved about it was the fact that they made certain to mention the resaon for His coming. He came to give Himself the perfect, atoning sacrifice for the sins of humanity. I was blessed by their singing and their portrayal of the birth of our Lord.

This truly is a special time of year and I was reminded yet again of the many blessings we enjoy through Christ our Lord. There was such a presence of worship at Fellowship yesterday that my heart continues to be filled with worship and adoration of our King today. I have to agree with the Scripture that I posted at the beginning: Glory to God in the highest!

I hope you have a blessed week and I pray that we will all make time to worship our Lord and Redeemer! He is worthy of all the praise that we can offer.
