PostHeaderIcon Desert Song by Hillsong United



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.

On Earth As in Heaven

Worship and Prayer are two sides of the same coin.

"The four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints."
(Revelation 5:8 )

The Harp represents the songs of worship that go on in heaven around the throne of God; day and night it never stops.

The Bowls are full of the prayers of the saints, rising as incense before the throne of God.

It is the harp and the bowl together that give us a picture of the ongoing encounter with God that goes on in heaven.


Let it be on earth as it is in heaven.
