Sometimes when referring to the Constitution it’s asked “What was our Founding Fathers’ original intent? We would be wise to find out what The Founding Father’s original intent was in creating man. It certainly wasn’t soul winning; there were no sinners. Nor was it that Adam might pray to God. Prayer is basically asking and receiving. What can a man ask for who has everything?
Man was not created a robot. God’s original purpose for man was free-will worship. When you pray you want something; when you worship you want Someone. Man was not coerced into desiring God. God delights in being longed for and loved. When we are brought back from our fallen condition God’s original intent is still in effect. Jesus said that worship was to be our top priority, service holding second position. When He dealt with the woman at the well, the theme was worship. And so should ours be with everyone we encounter.
“There is a point in true worship where the mind may cease to understand and goes over to a kind of delightful astonishment---probably to what Carlyle described as "transcendent wonder," a degree of wonder without limit and beyond expression!….” A.W. Tozer
