How Do You Worship God?

 How Do You Worship God? Day-votional Truth on Worship

Day-votional Truth on Worship

Many think that worshiping God is primarily a weekly encounter between the Creator and His creation–usually within the structure of a church or synagogue.

But worship is also a daily attitude of gratitude and a choice you can make to live in God’s presence moment by moment in spirit and in truth. You can praise God with your life, your voice, your work, and your attitude because of what He has done for you, but most of all because of who He is.

Every breath we take, every thought we have, and every act we do can be a worship experience when Jesus is our focal point– “from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets” (Psalm 113:3NIV). That includes all times.

That doesn’t mean living with a Bible on our chest, isolated from anything and anyone. The Bible encourages us to worship with other believers, and the local church is a great place to do that. We need each other.

Worship Includes More

But true worship includes more than that. Throughout each day, it’s being aware that our relationship with Jesus is what matters. He is that ”one thing that’s needed.” Worship as a way of life means He characterizes every part and every moment of our lives.

I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth (Psalm 34:1, RSV).

My Prayer for You

Lord Jesus, You are the object of our worship, and You alone are worthy of our praise. Help us to worship You at all times and in all ways with our lives, not just with a part, but with all of our heart.

Day-votedly Yours,

Rebecca

      Sister, I am so blessed to read your devotionals. They truly are like a sweet granola bar to the soul. The way that God has blessed your understanding reminds me somewhat of Teresa of Avila, or Elisabeth Elliot, or Edith Schaefer. Truly pleasant yet with hard nuggets of the Truth.What a truth – worship is our life. Read that too from A.W.Tozer

      My precious little grandmother (paternal) taught me that truth as a young child. One night before going to bed, I knelt with her beside her bed to pray and as I listened to her words to the Lord, I felt bad because I did not know how to pray. She assured me, affirmed me, as a little girl that I surely could talk to the Lord just like I would talk to her. To this day, I have never forgotten her words and how they encouraged me. Worship begins in the heart and Yes, the attitude of prayer and thanksgiving can and should be always be our primary goal. Thank you for your timely message:) I, too, look forward to receiving your words of encouragement. May you be richly blessed in all your doings, is my prayer for you.

      Thanks, Sylvia. What a precious truth your grandmother taught you! May God continue to use your life and words to bless others, too!

      I was married at the age of 18 for 16 yrs. I had three kids within that marriage. When I was pregnant with my third baby I went through some changes spiritually and emotionally. I had also realized that I was not “in love” with the man I had married. It felt like I was a puppet of my parents world. I was standing on the sidelines watching the way my parents directing my life. I got divorced with fear of what people would say about me. At the age of 32 for the first time in my life i knew what “your first love” felt like. I fell in love with an acquaintance it was beautiful, but i was so naive that i didn’t handle the relationship myself and feared what people would think of me. Now I’m in a long distance relationship that is slipping away. There’s so much i would like to get off my chest that it’s depressing me.

      Mirian, I am so sorry for the emotional roller coaster you have experienced. It might be helpful for you to talk to a strong Christian counselor you trust. And God is always waiting for us to talk to Him. May His Word speak personal words of comfort and peace to you in the coming days. You will be in our prayers!
