WHEN I GET BESIDE MYSELF

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:13 “For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.”

     The Bible says in Psalm 122:1, “I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord.” The psalmist was glad at just the mention of going to the house of the Lord. Can you imagine what he must have felt when he actually got there? Oh the thrill of being in the House of the Lord!
     Sometimes we get beside ourselves at Church because of the voice of God we hear! When we get there we can hear the Word of God taught and preached! What a thrill to be able to hear His voice!
     It’s a powerful voice that reaches down on the inside of our soul. It’s a persuasive voice in that we hear it and we obey it. We become doers of the Word and not hearers only.
     It was a penetrating voice! His words are said to be “quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged, sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” His words penetrate to the innermost being of man.
     In Matt. 16:18 it says, “And I say also unto thee, That thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” We’re not going to Church to be defeated, but victorious, we come to praise Him and sometimes, we’re going to find that we will get beside ourselves in our worship.
     We find down at the House of the Lord there’s a vision. There’s a vision of a surrendered life for Christ. There’s a vision of lost souls that need to hear about our Savior’s love for them! And there’s a vision of our soon coming King, the Lord Jesus Christ! Sometimes we just can’t help getting beside ourselves when we get to church!
