“You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.” – Rev 4:11
Today we're starting a series on worship and why it's so fundamental and important to us in our relationship with God. Let us start by clearing up that the definition of worship is not the singing of songs in Church…that's just one outworking of worship. Worship is not a “Sunday song” it's a “life song'. It's the outpouring and dedication of all that you are for all that He's done. Worship can be in every situation, every moment and every breath…if we choose it! That's the most important part of worship; our choice! Ps 103:1 “Let all that I am praise the Lord…” It's the moment by moment decision to give yourself and live yourself for the glory of God. Well known song-writer and Worship Leader, Darlene Zschech, often describes worship as “worth-ship”. It's the clarifying of what is of most worth in your life and the desire for more. Without God, we all worship none-the-less. We are intrinsically designed for it. Just look at the tabloid magazines and TV shows created with fulfilling the desire inside people for “more”. A closer look at the movie-star; a latest revelation of the music-stars marriage. It's provided to satiate that desire for the objects of our affection. Except in this case, it never does. However, when your focus is on the Ever Lasting there is always more to discover, more to love, more to give yourself too. It never ends but always satisfies. Our challenge today: take a fresh approach to worship. Make it less about you and more about Him. It'll transform you. Love and blessings to you all today!
