Hebrews 1:1-3 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…

Hebrews 8:1 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, …

Jude 1:25 To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, both now and forever, Amen. 

Strongs Concordance says that Majesty is for greatness, divinity, God himself. Majesty describes the splendor, greatness and extreme power of God.  The word attempts to describe His divinity.  It helps us to have the true awe and reverence we should have for Our Lord and Savior. 

Majesty, Worship His Majesty by Jack Hayford

Majesty, worship His Majesty: Unto Jesus be all glory, honor, and praise.
Majesty, kingdom authority, Flow from His throne unto His own, His anthems raise.
So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus.
Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus, the King.
Majesty, worship HIs Majesty, Jesus who died, now glorified, King of all Kings.

Aunt Maudie was Pastor Curly’s wife for many years.  The ministry they had to their flock was a sight to behold.  They gave all to serve their little country church for many years.  I think 40 to be exact until Curly graduated to glory due to a battle with cancer.  Aunt Maudie was the perfect wife for the pastor of the church.  She was full of hospitality, could teach classes on the spur of the moment, and she could lead a choir and most importantly … she could play the piano.  And she could play every hymn in the hymnal at the drop of the hat.  Any request for a favorite hymn would not challenge her.  She raised three children of her own, raised a garden, ministered to a whole community and as most pastor wives do… she lived in a fishbowl.  In the parsonage beside the church where everyone knew everything that went on in their home.

Aunt Maudie was Aunt Maudie to us because her sister was the mother of the Farmer.  They lived one half mile apart on a country road called the redline.  The church was also on that dirt country road and people came from miles around to worship their Majesty.  That was Aunt Maudie’s favorite song.  I know because I used to help lead worship and she told me several times that she loved that song and her life demonstrated that she surely did love her Majesty. 

Aunt Maudie was a good cook and her Buckaroon cookies were always a hit and that sweet recipe made it into my recipe box and I want to share it with you.
