Here I am to Worship

DEVOTION
1 THESSALONIANS
HERE I AM TO WORSHIP
2 Thess 1:10
10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
NIV
On the day he comes is an incredible statement all in itself, yet not only is he coming but he will be glorified in me and he will be marveled at by me as well. I am not completely sure how this will all happen. How will he be glorified or clothed in a garment in me? I think maybe this is in the sense that I will and have crowned him King, and he will be seen as the King by the whole world because of all his servants. I will be bowing down to the kingship of my Lord and Savior and the world will see that I was not wrong, or foolish to believe in him even though I have not seen him yet. The world whole will see he is the glorified King of kings, Lord of lords because he will be. It is beyond me why I am among all those who have believed. I have no idea why he got through to me and not to some others. Why was I able to hear the call of the Spirit? Why, when in all my sin, was he able to get into me? And even now I have not yet shed off all sin and still he counts me as one of those who believe. Why if I believe am I not able to rid myself of all sin? How can he really be glorified in me if I still am not completely free of sin? It has to be the simple fact of faith because works is not going to do it. I cannot ever glorify him because of works, because of being a perfect human being. I will be able to glorify him because of my faith in him. Sure I try to rid myself of all those sinful attitudes and or behaviors but I do not think I am ever going to be able to be successful. I am simply a sinner saved by grace and therefore I will bow down to my King and I will praise him and give him all the glory and honor he so rightly desires and I will do this before the whole earth.
Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, here I am to say that you’re my God, You’re altogether lovely, all together worthy, all together wonderful to me…
