People were made by God to worship.
The question is not whether we worship, but what or who do we worship. Some of us choose to worship God. Others choose to worship money, other people, fancy cars, favorite sports, hobbies, secular music, false gods.
There is no two ways about it.. Either we are worshipping God or we are worshipping things of the world. It is either one or the other. If you are not worshipping the true and living God, you are worshipping the world. We have to be aware of this principle.
Worship is a lifestyle. Just because you are in church Sunday morning, does not necessarily mean you are worshipping God. So what is the difference?
Let's take a look at what the Bible says.
John 4:23-24
23."But the hour cometh, an now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24. God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth."
This is the starting place..
A question you can ask yourself is, do I take the time each day to praise and worship God, or do I wait until Sunday morning to praise Him for His blessings?
Another question to ask yourself is does my worship of God depend on how I feel, or what is going on in my life? If I feel good, I worship God.. If I don't feel good, I don't worship God..The answer to these questions will give you an idea of where you are.
But it is not too late to become a true worshipper! God desires and longs for our total worship and praise. Worship is a continuous praise... You can begin today to worship and praise our awesome God-just for who He is.
To help you begin, He is:
Jehovah Jirah- My Provider
Jehovah Nissi- My Banner
Jehovah Rapha- My Healer,
Jehovah Roni- My Shepard
Jehovah Shalom- My Peace
Yahweh- I AM,
Adonai- My Great Lord!
To God Be the Glory!
Prayerfully ponder over this information.. We can discuss more regarding worship in a future blog.
