We are Not Alone!


“You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.”

Nehemiah 9:6






Maybe you read today’s’ blog title and thought I was going to talk about some recent newspaper headline detailing extra-terrestrial life forms on another planet. Nope.

We are not alone in our worship.

I am not, however, talking about the fact that everyone worships something. Instead, I want us to understand that when we worship

the One, True God we are not alone in that worship. 



Our opening verse above talks about the multitudes of heaven worshipping Him and in the verses that follow we find others joining in worship, all nations and peoples of all languages worship Him.

Rulers will worship and obey Him.



“All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord;

   they will bring glory to your name.”

Psalm 86:9



“He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.”

Daniel 7:14



“…and all rulers will worship and obey him.”

Daniel 7:27b



Not to mention the worship of Abraham, David, Daniel and so many other patriarchs.

We even find creation joining in…rivers, mountains and trees of the fields:



“Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy;”

Psalm 98:8



“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;

the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,

and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.”

Isaiah 55:12



How about you?

Even if you are struggling today with some great difficulty, God is worthy to be praised and worshipped. Don’t worship and give thanks for the cancer, the bankruptcy or the setback but in spite of, and through, those difficulties. Don’t make those situations greater and more worthy than Him. Join the worshippers past, present and future.

Worship Him who alone is worthy!
