Born on November 29, 1898, in Belfast, Ireland, C.S. Lewis went on to teach at Oxford University and became a renowned apologist writer, using logic and philosophy to support the tenets of his Christian faith. He is also known throughout the world as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia fantasy series, which have been adapted into various films for the big and small screens. Find out more here.
"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."
God does not need our worship! God is worthy to be worshiped, of course. But God does not need our worship. We worship because it is right and faithful and God meets us there and nourishes and sustains our lives in our doing so. But God does not need our worship like we may need affirmation and validation.
Why? Because, God is God!
We worship and serve God in our lives because God is worthy to worship and to serve. And it allows us to engage the work of the Kingdom of God in our lives. Still, God will get what God wants. God will enact God's purpose and will.
I simply pray that in my life and in my living that I might come along for the ride!
Omnipotent God, may we get on board with you! Amen.
