Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"We were created to worship.
But what does "worship" mean, exactly? We may think about church, listening to sermons, singing hymns, and bowing our heads in prayer, and those are all part of worship. But the deeper meaning is an expression of love to our Savior that comes from our souls. We worship God because of who He is.
God is more amazing than anything we can comprehend. All of our praise and gratefulness should be directed toward Him.
Sometimes we allow our schedules and busy lives to determine how much time we have to spend worshiping God. But He wants us to stay in a continuous attitude of worship in everything we say and do. And He requires that it comes from a heart that worships Him in truth.

God desires worship that is pure and uncoerced. We shouldn't say, sing, or display worship that isn't sincere. God knows the real intention of our motives.
The amount that we worship God is often based on how much He means to us. When we think about all that God has done and His mercy toward us, praise should flow from our hearts. In the times that we take Him for granted, we are being ungrateful, and our worship reflects those feelings.
When we enter into eternity with Jesus, we will finally see the One we have worshipped. Until then, we will continue to praise Him while we are on Earth.
