True Worship (Part 2)

We continue with our examination of what true worship is. Our reference texts bring boldly to view the assertion that true worship prioritises God in all our thoughts. Note particularly the motivation behind and objectives of the declarations in Psalms 95:3-5 and Psalms 96:3-6.

For the Lord is the greatest of all, King-God over all other gods! In one hand he holds the mysteries of the earth, and in the other he holds the highest mountain peaks. He’s the owner of every ocean, the engineer and sculptor of earth itself! Come and kneel before this Creator-God; come and bow before the mighty God, our majestic maker! For we are those he cares for, and he is and he is the God we worship. So drop everything else and listen to his voice!Psalms 95:3-7 (TPT)

Don’t stop! Keep on singing! Make his name famous! Tell everyone every day how wonderful he is. Give them the good news of our great Savior. Take the message of his glory and miracles to every nation. Tell them about all the amazing things he has done. For the Lord’s greatness is beyond description, and he deserves all the praise that comes to him. He is our King-God, and it’s right to be in holy awe of him. Other gods are absolutely worthless. For the Lord God is Creator-God, who spread the splendor of the skies! Breathtaking brilliance and awe-inspiring majesty radiate from his shining presence. His stunning beauty overwhelms all who come before him. Surrender to the Lord Yahweh, all you nations and peoples. Surrender to him all your pride and strength. Confess that Yahweh alone deserves all the glory and honor. Bring an offering and come celebrate in his courts. Come worship the Lord God wearing the splendor of holiness. Let everyone wait in wonder as they tremble in awe before him. Tell the nations plainly that Yahweh rules over all!Psalms 96:2-9 (TPT)

Ponder on these scriptures which bring into view the assertions of Psalms 19:1-4 and Romans 1:19-20. Oh, that the eyes of our heart may be opened to behold His wondrous works. No adversity should cloud our view of such a loving protector and provider. Only then will our hearts be in true worship and our entire being engaged in both the exaltation of the Lord and humble submission to Him as our maker and shepherd; giving the glory and honour due to His name.

Genuine worship requires a heart of faith, a disposition of obedience and a repentant heart that does not cling to sin (Psalms 24:3-4; Psalms 66:18). These are impossible without the help of the Holy Spirit by whom alone I can understand spiritual things (1 Corinthians 2:14). Beloved, the goal of worship is to glorify God and it begins with attitudes, coming to Him with a focused mind and a life of demonstrated obedience. Are you set for true worship? Consider these things. Shalom.
