Have you ever wondered.........
- Why worship is so important?
- How to praise the Creator of the univers?
Read: Psalm 150; Luke 19:36-40
We shouldn't hesitate to give a standing ovation. We should always be on our feet, lifting our hearts and our voices to him in praise. Psalm 150 clearly tells us that he deserves all the credit. Creation cannot help praising the Creator. Jesus said that if people did not praise God, then the stones would cry out a hearty "Bravo!" to their God.
We can spend hours in worship of our Lord, but if our praise comes from an insincere heart, our efforts are wasted. God listens attentively, his head resting in his hand, peering into our hearts. He isn't impressed if our lips move without our hearts moving as well. Worship isn't a duty. It's a privilege, an act of obedience, an urge to satisfy a heart that longs to praise God.
God is the focus, the reason, and the joy of our worship. No matter what problems you're facing, don't let them distract you from focus. Because of his work on the cross - for that reason alone - he deserves an unending stream of praise from our lips forever.
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. - John 4:23-24
