Adoration

“And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deuteronomy 10:12).

But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple (Psalm 5:7).

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! . . . For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen (Romans 11:33, 36).

If we would understand divine things, we must cultivate an attitude of humble adoration. Who does not begin by kneeling down, runs every possible risk.
~ Ernest Hello

It is magnificent to be clothed like the lilies of the field . . . but the supreme glory is to be nothingness in adoration.
~ Søren Kierkegaard

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation; / O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation; / All ye who hear, / Brothers and sisters, draw near, / Praise Him in glad adoration.
~ Joachim Neander

Man is most truly himself . . . not when he toils but when he adores. And we are learning more and more that all innocent joy in life may be a form of adoration.
~ Vida Scudder

This is adoration; not a difficult religious exercise, but an attitude of the soul.
