The Harp and the Bowl

I love the way this song smacks up against the realities of life.   Sometime we hit a hard place, a desert place, we find ourselves in the trial of fire.  But in all things, becasue of the unchanging reality of who God is, we have reason to sing praise, and we have access to victory if we'll but take it. This song gets at the heart of the aspect of worship as a responsibility, as I mentioned in my last post. That's not to downplay the sometime horrendous things we face in life. But if we can view them through the lens of the goodness and greatness of God, we can still offer to God the praises due his name. We can, as Psalm 29:2 says,

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name.

Worship him in the beauty of his holiness.
