Worship

I’m always looking for a blessing when I go to church and I get one. I enjoy fellowship with church family, the preaching, and the music. But is that the only reason we go to church?---to get the blessing.

First and foremost, our purpose should be to worship God. We will be blessed, but it's not about us. Worship happens when our heart overflows with love and adoration for God as we humble ourselves for His Glory. Remembering His goodness and grace and awesome love, we revere Who He is and what He has done.

Here’s a glimpses at worship in Heaven.

Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Revelation 5:11-12 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;  Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Notice, not a single request is made.  All that we find is pure, unadulterated worship of the Person and glory of Jesus. Of course, Jesus always praised God the Father.

Worship is “the upspring of a heart that has known the Father as a Giver, the Son as Saviour, and the Holy Spirit as the Indwelling Guest.”
