to worship

To lift up the heart to a Strength beyond all worldly strength and to a Wisdom greater than all earthly wisdom and to a Goodness transcending all human goodness; to recognize the need for every two to face a Third and to insist that every quarrel or debate be seen in the context of an everlasting righteousness; to have no fear save fear of God and to live so surely in God’s presence that no other presence can tempt or dismay; to draw one’s sustenance from wells too deep to be polluted and to find one’s light in suns too pure to be sullied and to set one’s course by stars too high for man to displace - this is in part what it means to worship, and out of such communion with his Maker man has marched to nobler victories than he had thought that he could even undertake.
