What is worship? Worship is an expression of love, praise, admiration, devotion, adoration, or reverence.
Worship might be expressed through words, songs, prayers, the giving of gifts, or other actions.
Unfortunately, worship is frequently misdirected. Many religions worship false gods. Celebrities, athletes, pastors, activists, intellects, along with a long list of other categories of people are “worshipped”.
Putting Godly worship into practice does not have to be difficult. This post will address one of the ways we can engage in Godly worship.
- First, we must be reminded that God alone is to be worshipped.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. (Psalm 29:2 ESV)
(for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God), (Exodus 34:14 ESV)
- Worship God with our lips (our speech).
Through him (Jesus) then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. (Hebrews 13:15 ESV)
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. (Hebrews 13:15 NIV)
- Worship God by telling others how we see God working in the world, how we see God working in our lives, and how we see God working in the lives of other people.
Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! (Psalm 105:1-2 ESV)
… but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. (Psalm 78:4 ESV)
Worship today by telling someone about our awesome God.
