Are We Glad?

David declared, “I was glad when they said unto me, ‘Let us go into the house of the Lord.’”  David was not alone in his attitude toward worship.  Abraham was a man of great faith who built many altars for the offering of sacrifice during his pilgrimage.  In fact, it has been said that Abraham’s steps could easily be traced simply by following the smoke from the altars he built.  The early church “continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42).  The apostle Paul never missed an opportunity to worship.  He and Silas even sang hymns and prayed with their feet in stocks in Philippi.  These are but a few examples of individuals who were glad to worship.
