--TRUE WORSHIP
--"Come let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
for He is our God and we are the people
of His pasture, the flock under His care."
--PSALM 95:6-7
--WHEN was the last time you truly worshipped God? What is worship, anyway?
Worship in the truest sense takes place only when our full attention is on God--on His glory, His power, His majesty, His love, His compassion. And if we're honest, this doesn't happen very often, because even in church or in our times of quiet devotion, we get distracted.
Notice in these verses what prompted the psalmist's worship. FIRST, he recognized that God is the Lord--the sovereign, all-powerful God of the universe. He recognized, too, that God had made him; he wasn't here by accident, but by God's perfect plan. Finally, he worshipped God because God had made him part of His flock, constantly watching over him and providing for his every need.
Learn to shut out the distractions that keep you from truly worshipping God. Then turn your mind and heart to Him every day, praising Him for who He is and thanking Him for His love for you in Christ.
--JESUS IS LORD! Let's be sure that He gets all honor, glory, power, and praise. He alone is worthy!"Worthy Is the Lamb"~
--Hope For Each Day/BG/Thank you for the Cross, Lord!
