Why Worship?
- Worship is an act of obedience - Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name, worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. Psalm 29:2 We are commanded to worship the Lord for His beauty and holiness, and as children of God who seek to please Him, let us obey and worship Him with all our hearts and souls, for this is what pleases Him. Let our worship come from obedience and a grateful heart.
- Worship is an act of reverence - You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things and by Your will, they were created and have their being. - Rev 4:11Worship is the proper recognition and celebration of God, returning to Him the glory that He alone deserves and honoring Him with our lives and our words.
- Worship is an acknowledgement of Christ's sacrifice - The Lord our God made a great holy sacrifice to bring us back to Him and make us His heirs. It is but fitting to thank Him with all our hearts and offer our lives as a living sacrifice. So then, my friends, because of God's great mercy to us...offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to His service and pleasing to Him. This is the true worship that you should offer. -Romans 12:1
- Worship is a reflection of our lives - Shout with joy to God, all the earth. Sing the glory of His name, make His praise glorious! Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! How great is your power!" Psalm 66:1-3Let our achievements, successes and blessings be for the glory of God. For without Him we are nothing. Every good gift is from above and points back to its source. It is all for the glory of God.
Let us not run short of joy. Let us stock up on it so that our church, homes and workplace are overflowing with joy. Let's drench our everyday lives with joy and the wonder of worship. All we need to do is turn our eyes heavenward and celebrate what we see.
