You have drawn near to the Living God
You have drawn near to the New Jerusalem
You have drawn near to angels in holy attire
You have drawn near to worship Jesus
This song, by John Michael Talbot, is taken from the verses prior to the verse to study. Having it go through my head while reading and meditating on this verse was incredible uplifting.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,What has God given us in this passage? It is the promise of his kingdom that cannot be shaken. But how can he give that to us? Because he has already given himself to us! The God of the universe has given himself to us. He wants us to come to him. He has drawn near to us!
We are in awe before God. We come to him with reverence. We don’t give demands or set expectations on God, but rather see our place in light of how he sees us. And He doesn’t see us as puny things, but as loved sons and daughters.
I am out of words, but filled with thanksgiving.
