Worship is so much more than attending church and singing and praising and praying and reading our Bible. True worship of our heavenly Father involves EVERYTHING about us, including our thoughts and actions......
not just when we're in church, but in our every day lives. Whenwe I truly want all the glory to go to Him, it will affect our my speech and actions. It will help determine how I spend my money and my time. It will mean thinking more of others than myself. True worship involves sacrifice of my selfishness.
I love it when God speaks His truths to me, even when it hurts because I know it's for my own good and it's only because of His great love for me (and you). After all, isn't that what a Father does?
I'm realizing all of this MORE and MORE (my 2017 word) as I study and ponder on this word.....
worship.
HOPE Wednesday holds lots of sweet blessings for each of you!

This is so good. We are studying Romans in Bible Study. This makes it so clear
ReplyDeleteAh yes...Worship is an all day experience when we focus our thoughts and attention on Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our Faith...How can we help but love Him, when He loved us so???
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIUFL!!!! Sorry for shouting---but I wanted you to know I truly think it is...smiles---have a lovely day friend.
ReplyDeleteI always think of the old saying, if you talk the talk, be sure and walk the walk too. Going to church has never saved anyone, but living close to the foot of the cross certainly helps. I have the HOPE of my Savior and cling to Him every day.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Deb! Our faith should be lived out every day of the week, bringing God the glory!
ReplyDeleteAwe...may we worship Him daily and throughout all things. I love this post today. I had to pin the Roman's sign. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI love that...take your everyday life and place it as an offering before God each day. Yes.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I love music and as I read your post words to this song entered my mind. I found myself singing and reading at the same time....don't know how that happens, but sometimes it does!! Hello Holy Spirit!!
ReplyDeleteHere I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
So true.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post, Debbie. So many times I think we tend to think of worship as only the time we spend at church...and it is truly everything that you shared here. I remember reading a book by Elisabeth Elliot early on in my Christian faith and one thing she stressed was exactly what you've shared here. Thank you so much for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteOur life is to be offered as worship to HIM indeed, not just at certain times but any and all times! Let everything that hath breath give thanks :) I love to worship, sing and praise the Lord, and it is so true, we should be living a constant life of worship unto Him. Amen! Hugs to you today :)
