Worship




Photobucket

"Be careful not to forget the covenant of the Lord your God that He made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden. For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God." Deuteronomy 4:23-24

Is the Lord a consuming fire in your heart...is He first in your life?  Do you love God above all else?  Our consuming desire should be to obey, please, and glorify Him; our consuming passion should be to worship Him!  What is "worship" to you?

Our posture towards God should be: complete surrender, utmost reverence, joyful dependence, deepest gratitude, humble obedience, faithful devotion, and highest adoration. To me, that's "worship".  We can daily worship God by offering up our lives...our all (body, spirit, heart, mind, word, action) to praise and honor Him.
"God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:24

    I love this verse...I find the song stuck in my head a lot. To think He is jealous over us :)

    Happy WFW!

    Thanks for that powerful verse today. I like the kingdom that cannot be shaken part and how God is a consuming fire.
