The Worship Edge Pt.1


The name of this blog and the once a month service we normally do at Anastasia in St. Augustine has an intriguing name. The Edge or Worship Edge. There are a lot of ways to think about this which we will begin to unpack. If you've ever seen a picture of an iceberg you know that what you see or experience is just a fraction of the reality. Nehemiah 9:6 says '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." I think it's silly to think we've ever arrived in our worship. Our worship experiences here on earth are mere glimpses of heaven. Consider the reality of the 'multitudes of heaven'. When you stand on the rim of the Grand Canyon or at the edge of the sea and look out; you realize how very small we are. When we worship, we are warming up for the main event. The worship of heaven will be eternal bliss, incalculable joy, and a marvelous wholeness that comes from being in His presence. We're just touching the tiniest of edges on earth.

' Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! Psalm 147:1
