AC 1554 - Journeys; AC 1561 - Worship

AC 1554

He went according to his journeys. 
(Genesis 13:3)

That this signifies according to order,
is evident from the signification of "journeys,"
as being further progressions;
and as these were made according to order,
"journeys" here signify nothing else.

From His earliest infancy the Lord advanced
according to all Divine order to celestial things,
and into celestial things;
and in the internal sense,
the nature of this order is described by
what is said concerning Abram.
According to such order, also, are all led
who are being created anew by the Lord;
but this order is various with men,
according to the nature and genius of each one.
But the order by which a man is led
while being regenerated
is known to no man,
and not even to the angels, except obscurely,
but to the Lord alone.

AC 1561

And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
(Genesis 13:4)

. . . for worship itself is nothing but a certain activity
coming forth from the celestial which is within.
The celestial itself cannot possibly exist without activity.
Worship is its first activity;
for it puts itself forth in this way,
because it perceives joy in it.
All the good of love and of charity is essential activity itself.
