HOW DO YOU WORSHIP?


How do you worship? Debbie Preached a great message on worship. You can hear Debbie's message at www.harvestcity.sk.ca/messages/index.htm
I was truly impacted by this message, so in my devotions I searched more about worship. This is some of what I found. This is taken from www.allaboutgod.com/worship-c.htm (I used the New Living Translation Bible)
Worship - Spirit and Truth
True worship is God-centered worship. People tend to get caught up in where they should worship, what music they should sing in worship, and how the worship looks to other people. Focusing on these things completely misses the point. Jesus tells us that true worshipers will worship God in spirit and in truth John 4:24
 24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
This means we worship from a pure heart!
Worship - The Heart of the Matter
Worship can include praying, reading God's Word with an open heart, singing, participating in communion, and serving others. It's not limited to one act such as serving by setting up the chairs, Ushering, Security, Sound, Sunday School Teacher, but these are done properly when the heart and attitude of the person is in the right place.
Worship - The Heart of David
As far as worship, King David was a phenomenal example for all of us. He had a pure and grateful heart towards God and worshipped Him with the entirety of his being. Many of the Psalms reflect David's passionate heart for worship. 
Psalm 92:1-2
1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,to sing praises to the Most High.
2 It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening,Psalm 18:3a   
3. I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise... 
Psalm 145:3
3 Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!No one can measure his greatness
David was a man after God's own heart, because he truly glorified God in his heart!
Worship - Glorify and Exalt God!
True worship is not confined to singing in church or open praise, but it is the heartfelt acknowledgment of God and all His power and glory in the things we do. To truly worship God, we must know Him and not be ignorant of His good and glorious nature.
In a nutshell, worship is to glorify and exalt God; to show our loyalty and admiration to our Heavenly Father!
I hope you find this encouraging. Remember to Worship and keep your heart attitude on God and His desires.
