WORSHIP GOD
“Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord saying; ‘For He is good, for His mercy endures forever’, that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God” (II Chronicles 5:13-14).
Who should praise and worship God? Why do we worship God? How should we worship Him and how should we begin coming into His presence?
The Bible mentioned one particular experience of the apostle John in the Book of Revelation and described that awesome experience in the following scripture.
“Behold, a throne set in heaven and One sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald…and around the throne were four living creatures…and they do not rest day or night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”…The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever…saying “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created” (Revelation 2,3,6,8,10,11).
Did you ever imagine that as we worship God, we join the angels and heavenly beings that continuously sing and proclaim praise to Him in heaven? Oh, God is really awesome! The Bible teaches us that the One we worship dwells in a realm of power and majesty that we cannot conceive of in our imagination. He is the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-wise and ever present God who loves us with an everlasting love and commitment.
We should worship God in spirit and truth. Jesus said: “…the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:23-24). The scripture tells us that God desires to fill us with His Holy Spirit, and to guide us into all truth. But what is this truth? Jesus said, “Your word is truth” (John 17:17). Personally, I do believe that the Holy Bible, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, has been given to us to instruct us how to worship God. Listed here are some ways on how we should worship God.
• We worship God through singing. “Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His” (Psalms 30:4).
• We worship God through kneeling. “Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker” (Psalm 95:6).
• We should worship God through standing. “Behold, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who by night stand in the house of the Lord” (Psalm 134:1).
• We should worship God by lifting up hands. “Lift up your heads in the sanctuary and praise the Lord” (Psalm 134:2).
• We should worship God thru clapping of our hands. “Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!” (Psalm 47:1).
• We should worship God thru dancing. “Let them praise His name with the dance…” (Psalm 149:3).
Worship to God is a natural response to the revelation of who He is and what He has done for us. God is our creator and desires each one of us to know Him personally and to enjoy His presence and blessings forever. Do you know Him personally, like how you personally know your earthy father, your best friend, or your brother? Are you already enjoying His presence and His bounty? If not, then I encourage you to desire and have a personal relationship with the perfect Father, your closest Friend, the One who sticks closer than a brother. Come to Him as you are, no need for masks. Stop trusting in yourself and what you can do and start trusting in Jesus and what He has already done. Tell Jesus that you are sorry for your sins and invite Him to come and inside of you (1 John 1:9; Revelation 3:20). Ask Jesus to become your Savior and your Lord (1 Timothy 1:15; Romans 10:9-10). Repent and turn away from everything God and the Bible call sin (Acts 3:19). Totally commit yourself to obeying Christ every day for the rest of your life (Matthew 16:25).
