The Essence Of Worship
This is an invitation to think about the essence of worship for my christian brothers and sisters. This is an invitation to everybody else to give an insight into the beauty of christian worship.
This project began with some lyrics which i began to sing in my alone time with God.
Praise Him with your voice
Praise Him with your ears
Praise Him with your eyes
Praise Him with your minds
Praise Him with your works
Praise Him all the earth
Praise Him He is Lord
Praise Him He is God
It simply says to praise God with everything we got. With the things we say, with the things we listen to, with the things we look to, with the things we think.
That means that we should praise God with the words we speak to others, with the music we listen to, with the movies we watch, with the thoughts we have of others.
We don't put our 'worship hat' on and off at any given moment. The essence of worship is a state of the heart that is focussed on God all the time.
Do we realize this? Take a moment to think about it. Every thought, every action and every emotion is an utterance of the state of our heart. The depth of this thought struck me.
We worship Him when we are talking to other people. We worship Him when we are doing our 9 to 5 job. We worship Him even when we are just walking down the street. It's not the thing that makes it worship. It's the heart that is behind it, a heart that is focussed on Him.
Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sin so that we can be forgiven, reconciled and made righteous into the eyes of God by trusting in Jesus and repenting of our sin.
He gave His all for us, will we give our all to Him?
