DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples. Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wonderful works. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually. Remember the wonderful works he has done, his miracles, and the judgements he has uttered. (Psalm 105: 1-5)

To worship is to assign worth or to recognize worth or to assign value. A penny on the pavement is often ignored. A twenty dollar bill is seldom passed by. The greater the value the more attention it will usually receive.

We tend to give greater value to that which is scarce. Iron is a more useful metal than gold. But iron is more plentiful, so the value we assign is less than gold.

God's wonderful works are all about us. God's love is constant and inexhaustible. God's value is inestimable. Yet the very extravagance of God's gifts can cause us to take them for granted.

By giving thanks and singing praise and remembering we worship. To seek God's presence continually - to fully recognize the value of God's love - is to truly worship.

Above is Mindfulness by Gil Dominguez.
