"Behold My servant, whom I uphold." (Isaiah 42:1)

l
In a world rife with sound bytes and instant images, we need to teach ourselves to behold, to meditate, to appreciate. The wonders of our Saviour are not discerned in a moment, nor appreciated with a glance. Worship of God does not pour out of a packet marked "just add water." Worship is a precious gift - made valuable by the time invested in its creation. Worship bathes the object of its focus in absolute love and appreciation. Motivation must be strong to engender such emotion. Does he motivate us so? He can, if we take the time to behold and meditate on Him. The Father holds Him up to us and commands us to behold. Do we? (S. McEachern)
