Worship makes us who we are. That is, what we give our attention to shapes our longings, desires, and the direction of our life. Weekly Sunday worship is the practice of paying attention to God. But, is God worthy of our worship? 2 Chronicles 7:1-3 says, yes!
In this scene, God’s presence descends on the temple in holy fire. Even the priests cannot bear to stand in the presence of God. And yet as the people bow in worship, they don’t say, “God is really scary!” or “God is unreasonable” or “God can’t be trusted.” Instead they say “God is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” (2 Chronicles 7:3). God’s character is pure goodness and love. God is worth our worship. No matter what difficulty, hardship, or uncertainty you may be facing this Monday, God’s steadfast love is for you because God is good.
