Once upon a time there were
prophets telling of God and the creation and the universe. Fortelling of a time
when God’s people were obstinate and refused to follow Him. Some of the
prophets were even put to death. And God gave them one more chance, and sent
His Son, whom the angels were not remiss in worshipping. And the people killed
him. (Heb 1:6) and so God said “Who are you truly serving?” And that question
was meant as much for me in my worship, as much as it did in those ancient
peoples -- who am I serving when I
worship? (Deuteron 32:43) Who is it that I want to serve? When Paul went before
Tertullus, he was accused of being a rabble-rouser, of causing mayhem and
having no concern for public order, and Paul responds, “But this I confess unto
thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship the God of my
fathers, believing all things which are written in the law of the prophets.”
(Acts 24:14) That is some rabble-rouser! In like manner, I am exhorted by Paul
to believe those prophets, believe God, and to worship the King.
