Bow The Knee

At the name of Jesus, “every knee” should bow and “confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Phil. 2:10,11). As the old hymn says, 

	O worship the King, 

	all glorious above, 

	And gratefully sing 

	His power and His love.

Worship is the great spiritual adjuster. Bowing the knee at the name of Christ and kneeling at His cross lowers the haughty chin. It softens hard-heartedness and causes stubborn shoulders to yield. 

Worship lifts up those weighed down with burdens and stooped over with cares. It straightens those who are bent out of shape and strengthens the lame and those made to [who are made] limp as we go through life’s troubles and trials, It eases our strains, soothes our aches and calms all those things that are flared up but shouldn’t be.

Worship clears our throat and looses our lips to sing His praise. It opens our closed eyes to see and unstops plugged ears to hear of His glory. It elevates hearts to Him and opens our mind to His great truth. 

Worship lifts ups our eyes to Jesus, His life and love, and the realities of Heaven where He is now. It properly positions us before Him and realigns us for the carrying out His will.
