Because Of Who You Are

“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker” Psalm 95:6

For the past couple of days the song ‘Because of who you are’ keeps coming up in my heart and I just have to start singing it. Many of you know this song and for those that don’t, there’s a video at the end of this posting of Martha Munizzi singing it.

The lyrics are very simple but when I enter into God’s presence by faith, completely surrendered with an attitude of reverence and adoration singing the lyrics in spirit and in truth, I will feel the Holy Spirit’s presence in a mighty way.

This song reminds me that we need to worship God daily just because He is God and worthy of our praise. We must learn to be people of praise and worship, giving glory to God because He is our Provider, our Strength, our Comfort, our source of Peace, our Healer, the Lover of our Soul, the One who never leaves or forsakes us. He is everything to us, but most of all He is our Salvation. He has done many wonderful things in and around us. The things he planned for us no one can recount to Him, were we to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare. Therefore, we should rejoice in all that we have accomplished through Christ Jesus because the Lord our God has blessed us. (Psalm 40:5, Deut. 12:7)

“Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping Him with holy fear and awe.” Hebrews 12:28

Lift up holy hands, bow down before Him, get on your face and humble yourself in the presence of The Most High God paying homage to Him. Recognize who He is and have a reverential fear for your Creator. Don’t hold back words of adoration and worship. He is worthy of all of our praise. We need to worship God so that our minds are kept on Him and all that He has done, rejecting any pride that would try to creep in and make us think that we have reason to boast in anything other than Christ Jesus. Let us pay tribute to the Lord at all times and constantly speak His praises and boast only in Him. (Psalm 34:1-2)

“Honor the Lord, for the glory of His name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.” Psalm 29:2

Because of the blood of Jesus we are cleansed and given the privilege of entering into God’s presence to seek His face and to give Him our sacrifice of praise. Go to a private place, put on some good worship music, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as you prepare your mind and heart to enter into God’s presence, and then open your mouth and begin to worship Him because of who He is. Praise Him for all that He has done and is doing in your life. Confess your love and trust for Him. Worship Him in spirit and in truth. You will be filled with the fullness of joy and peace that comes from being in His presence and meditating on Him. (Psalm 16:11)

I leave you with the song, ‘Because of Who You Are’ by Martha Munizzi. I pray that it will help bring you into His presence as you sing the words.

“It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,” Psalm 92:1-2
