Worship is defined as "attributing worth to an object or a person". It is embedded in us, and we're naturally inclined to do it. [Some people worship their toys!] Everyone in this world worships something, or even someone. So, we're designed for worship!
Daryll said he pictures worship as "lifting up two hands". :)
I like this. Worship is the manifestation of the splendor of God! God's splendor is simply portrayed in His wonderful creation! =] I'm so in awe of the sunflowers in the meadow!
God's will for us is: WORSHIP.
Isaiah 43:21 says, "the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise".
Worship can be counterfeit.. so, we'll scrutinize, what's true worship? It is..
1) Being passionate about God's presence.
John 12:1-8, an amazing passage to read. =) Passionate; you know it all.
2) Humbling of the heart.
Isaiah 6:1-8. When Isaiah entered into God's presence, He realized how sinful He was. Humility, people. We should approach God in humility!
3) Sacrificing and then expecting something from God.
Hebrews 11:6... a good passage to meditate on. Believe it as well! We can expect something from God.
JOHN 4:23 - "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. God is spirit and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth."
That's all for now. (: Take care people!
