WORSHIP MEANS VICTORY

Only when we are clear on what we worship, for everyone worships something. Money, power, property, prestige, fame, the list is endless. Victory over the issues of life comes not from worship of temporary, passing things but from living the examined life, coming to worship that which transcends the secular, the basis of all creation. By relying on a power greater than ourselves as the only true source all of our difficulties, problems and cares melt away to the exact degree that we trust in Him who has all knowledge and power. By really putting our trust in Him instead of outer conditions the following equation becomes operative: the level of our serenity rises in direct proportion to our expectation that God will provide. The opposite is true as well: the level of our serenity lowers in direct proportion to the expectation that secular living will provide. To quote Emmet Fox: “God is bigger than any problem.” “You pray well when you pray with joy.”
