From the book “Mornings with Tozer: Daily Devotional Readings” by A.W. Tozer
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. - Psalm 104:34
I can safely say on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven!
Now, I can almost hear someone saying, “Is Tozer getting away from justification by faith?”
I assure you that Martin Luther never believed in justification by faith more strongly than I do. But nowadays there is a deadly, automatic quality about getting saved.
This bothers me greatly: “Sinner, just put a nickel’s worth of faith in the slot, pull down the lever and take out the little card of salvation.” Tuck it in your wallet and off you go—a justified believer!
But really, my brother or sister, we are brought to God and to faith and to salvation that we might worship. We do not come to God that we might be automatic Christians stamped out with a die!
God has provided His salvation that we might be, individually and personally, vibrant children of God, loving God with all our heart and worshiping Him in the beauty of holiness!
Prayer: Lord, I bow before You this morning as my Lord and King. You are deserving of all my love and praise and worship.
