Isaiah 24 spoke of the judgment to come upon the world, especially in the Great Tribulation. During that time, those who have come to trust in the Lord will praise Him, even in the midst of His righteous judgment. This song shows the kind of heart that praises God in the midst of tribulation, even in the midst of the Great Tribulation. Knowing that the Lord the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God revealed in and by Jesus Christ is our God makes us want to praise Him. When someone or something other than the Lord is our God , we are guilty of idolatry.
Worship is never to be just a feeling, even if it is an intense feeling.
We are to worship God with a decision . If I did not praise and bless Christ my Lord, I should deserve to have my tongue torn out by its roots from my mouth. I am a debtor. Then I charge you by the love of Christ, awake, awake your hearts now to magnify his glorious name. God wants our worship to be filled with thought and remembrance of God s great works, not only an emotional response.
