In the Midst of Mystery
By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. Hebrews 11:4
Christian musical artist Seph Schlueter was touring and preparing for a new album release when he and his wife received bad news. The twenty-week ultrasound of the couple’s unborn baby girl no longer showed a heartbeat. That was the hardest month of his life, he said, but “I can still praise you in this pain, God, and in the midst of mystery.”1

Hebrews 13:10-16
When we worship the Lord, we’re offering a sacrifice to Him. We learn to praise Him, even in the middle of pain and mystery. Abel brought his worship and his sacrifice to God by faith, and God honored him for it. His example still speaks to us.
When we worship, we are lifting our hearts and voices upward to One who is greater than our problems and pain, higher than our hurts and wounds, and more eternal than our burdens on earth. Worshiping transports us to the throne. It lifts us above the mirey clay. Practice saying, “Praise the Lord!” throughout the day. Let’s offer God the sacrifice of praise.
Without worship we go about miserable.
