12.21 Relationship at the Holy of Holies - Worship

From the Holy Place, we enter the Holy of Holies where the presence of God resides. It is the place where the only source of light is His glory. It is where we come face to face with the Person our heavenly Father in His glorious presence.

We know the Father because Jesus had revealed Him (John 14:9). In addition, Jesus has given us perfect access to the Father. Jesus said in John 14:6, “No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

At this phase, we have gone beyond His works and His ways to know His Person. We know Him for who He is – as our Father and our God. There is none like Him. This knowledge consumes us and we live our lives for Him.

We have become His close friend. We share the deepest secrets and desires of our heart with our Father and He shares His with us. There is an intimacy with Him that not even our closest friends would understand.

Enoch walked so close to God that he was caught up to heaven and never tasted death. Abraham walked so close to God that He said in Gen 18:17, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?” Moses walked so close to God that He would speak to him face to face instead of through dreams and visions (Num 12:6-8). The Apostle Paul was so consumed with God that he would rather be in heaven than on earth (Phil 1:23).

Our only response to the Person and presence of our Father God is worship. The Psalmist says, “Because He is your Lord, worship Him” (Ps 45:11). We go beyond His works and His ways to encounter His Person; to know that He is truly our Lord and Heavenly Father.

Whatever needs we have, we should first seek Father God in worship. When we stand in His presence and truly see how big, how great and how powerful He is, our problems will become so small.
