wings of worship

i was listening to jason upton yesterday in the car and in this one part of the song, him and this girl sing, "in the place of suffering, there's a God worth worshipping."

i felt like these lyrics were loaded with potential discoveries about my relationship with Jesus - and this whole idea of what kind of value i would find in him. and i'm finding now that they're certainly filled with ... curiosities.

how exactly do you measure the worth of God?

is it in how many times he has answered YES to a prayer? or how many times he's provided for you, reguardless of you asking?

could you measure the worth of God by how many people he has healed? you could, but i don't really think that would be fair... there are a lot of people he hasn't healed.

could i measure the worth of God in how my life is going - fantastic or awful? probably shouldn't ...

maybe this is what's beautiful about the heart of Christ. you can't measure his worth - all we know is that he is worth worshipping. 

now onto figuring out worship really means ...
