The whole import and substance of the Bible teaches us that the God who does not need any thing nevertheless desires the adoration and worship of His created children.
Whatever Happened to Worship?, 37.
Worship: Truckloads of Gadgets
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse onthe work of Your hands. I spread out my hands to You; My soul longsfor You like a thirsty land.–Psalm 143:5-6
These people who have to have truckloads of gadgets to get theirreligion going, what will they do when they don’t have anythinglike that? The truck can’t get where they’re going.
I heard a man boast this afternoon on the radio to come to hisplace because they were going to bring in equipment fromPennsylvania and Ohio to serve the Lord with. What equipment doyou need to serve the Lord with, brother? Why, the dear old campmeeting ladies used to say, “See, this is my harp with ten stringsand I praise the Lord!” And they’d clap their little old wrinkledhands with shining faces. What claptrap do you need? Do you need abushel basket full of stuff to serve the Lord with?
Brother, if you have two knees and even if you’re stiffened upwith arthritis so you can’t get on your knees, you can look up inyour heart. For prayer isn’t getting on your knees–prayer is theelevation of the heart to God. That’s all a man needs. You canpray in a prison, you can pray in an airplane, you can pray in aship; you can pray anywhere and you can worship God, because it’sHimself that we want, Himself. Success and the Christian, 30.
“Lord, show me Yourself this morning. I don’t have any ‘claptrap’or equipment here; I just want to get on my knees and worship. Imeditate on Your works, my soul longs for You, here in the quietof my study. Amen.”
