Verse of the Day:

Psalm 147:4–5: “He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension.”

Challenge:

Today, focus on God’s power. Don’t try to do things on your own. Initiate God’s power in your life by putting your faith in the power of His promise.

Word #24: Worship

“Without worship, we go about miserable.”

—A. W. Tozer

Worship is something that might seem a bit confusing, but in reality, it isn’t. It is within our human nature to worship something or someone. But the sad fact is, there are more than 600 different religious denominational churches, each with different doctrines and beliefs, who are attempting to worship God in ways contrary to what He says in the Bible.

The act of worship is to show respect, honor, or homage to a certain object or person. An in regards to our faith as Christians, our worship is to be directed toward our Lord and Savior. Worship is a time when we pay deep, sincere, awesome respect, love, and fear to the one who created us.

Our worship not only honors and magnifies God, but it is also for our own edification and strength. Worship helps us develop a God-like and Christ-like characteristics. When we worship God we develop traits such as forgiveness, tenderness, justice, righteousness, purity, kindness, and love. All of these attributes are preparing us for eternal life in heaven with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Ultimately, the art of worship is something that we cannot truly understand until we take part in it. And although the act of worship might seem conservative and dry, there are many ways to worship our God in heaven. Worship itself is not just an act, but a lifestyle in which we can live.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are to be living sacrifices (a form of worship) to the one above. Worship should cause us to reflect on the majesty and graciousness of God and Christ, contrasted to our own unworthiness.
