“Worship the LORD in holy attire; Tremble before Him, all the earth.” (NASB)
STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS
“Worship (shachah: bow, bow down, obeisance, reverence, fall down, stoop, crouch, prostrate oneself) the LORD in holy (qodesh: hallowed, holiness, dedicated, consecrated, separateness, sacredness,) attire (hadarah: beauty, honor, adornment, glory); Tremble (chuwl or chiyl: dance, to twist, writhe, whirl about) before Him, all the earth.”
SUMMARY
Bow down in reverence, laying prostrate before the LORD, in beautifully adorned holiness; Dance, twist and whirl about before Him, all the earth.
MEDITATION
A casual read of this verse may incline one to assume that we’re supposed to put on our dress clothes and cower in fear before the LORD. Oh how wrong this assumption would be! (This is a fantastic example of why one must study the Word.) I ask you, when was the last time you physically bowed down and laid prostrate before the LORD? How recently have you whirled about and danced because your love for Him is overflowing and uncontainable? My friends, we’ve hardly even begun to worship the Father! The Word says to bring a sacrifice of praise! Sacrifices cost you something – in this case perhaps your pride or complacency. Today, worship the LORD as He desires you to! May all the earth know that we are His children!

- ** Search for "Path To Zion Podcast" on YouTube or go to pathtozion.com, Joel's primary source of publishing these days. ** I'm pretty much your average 50 year old guy that lives in the beautiful mountains of Southwestern Virginia. I love being a daddy and a husband. I live to be continually conformed into the image of Christ and believe that I exist to bring Heaven down to the earth. I love to challenge what you believe - not so that I can prove that either of us are right or wrong, but to get you to know why you believe what you do. I'm not into conferences, glory meetings or hyped up Christianity. Nor am I stagnant and zombie-fied in ignorance and spiritual depravity while snoring in a church pew. Are these our only two options? Who will mature in Christ and seek to be conformed to His image above all else? I used to write.... ALOT. I started two books that have been temporarily "shelved" until some spare time returns. I long for Christ's sleeping church to awaken and share this whenever I can. I believe and personally know that God speaks to people today. Will you heed His voice? Feel free to email me at: pathtozionpodcast[@]gmail.com .

Point,I caught while reading this. I can come before Him in this way as I am in Christ. God would not say come like this if I can't. Oh I love how God encourages us to worship.

I can hear the sermon now. "How you should wear your best clothes at church..."
It drives me nuts when people don't study the verse, but imply their own preferences. That verse is a beautiful picture of true worship.
keep up the great job.
