CQOD: 08/01/06 -- Underhill: the worshipful attitude

Christian Quotation of the Day

August 1, 2006
Meditation:
    And at the evening sacrifice I rose from my fasting, with my garment and my cloak torn, and fell upon my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God...
    -- Ezra 9:5 (ESV)

Quotation:
    As the genuine religious impulse becomes dominant, adoration more and more takes charge. “I come to seek God because I need Him,” may be an adequate formula for prayer. “I come to adore His splendor, and fling myself and all that I have at His feet,” is the only possible formula for worship.
    ... Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, I lift my heart and voice to You in worship.
