Text: Hebrews 13:15-16
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The English word “worship” comes from the old English worth ship. That is, worship is showing, displaying the worth of God. True worship is done out of faith and admiration for God. It is the acknowledgment of God and all His power and glory in everything we do.
Hebrews 13:15-16 says, “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
To worship is to know God truly and demonstrate that knowledge by valuing, treasuring, enjoying and being satisfied with God above all earthly things. This satisfaction overflows in acts of praise from the lips and acts of love and service to humanity for the sake of Christ.
In John 4:24, Jesus tells us that true worshipers will worship God in spirit and in truth. Spend quality time praising God in the beauty of holiness. Call God by His beautiful names. Read and study His Word with an open heart, participate in communion, and serve humanity by evangelizing them and helping as much as possible.
Obedience to God shows our reverence for Him and His word; and thus is the highest form of praise and worship.
Action Nugget: Spend quality time worshiping God in the beauty of His majesty; make it a daily habit.
