Take a few minutes to look at a word. You can choose any word that would like, but I choose the word “worthy”. That is because of what it means.
Something that has worth is important. It has value. It might have worth based on what it is or based upon what others think about it.
Take some time to visit this word with me.
Psalm 18:3 NLT
I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.
First, our God is worthy. He is more valuable than anything else.
Proverbs 12:4 NLT
A worthy wife is a crown for her husband, but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones.
Second, a great wife, or spouse, is a gift, a valuable gift, to us.
Matthew 10:11 NLT
“Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a worthy person and stay in his home until you leave town.
Third, finding someone who serves you or serves with you is of huge value is worthy.
Ephesians 4:1 NLT
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.
Fourth, a life lived well, set a part to serve God, is a worthy and important life.
Revelation 5:12 NLT
And they sang in a mighty chorus: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”
Fifth and last, the one given for us, the lamb of God and the one who covers the gap between man and God is worthy, more than we will ever know.
That word is incredible. It takes us to a new level, and I am grateful for how our awesome God has taught us about being worthy! May we learn more, may we see our worth, may we know how God is so much more worthy than anyone has said.
God is worthy of our praise and more.
