It’s easy to worship God when things are good. Not so easy when hard times come.
True worship looks beyond the crisis of the hour and sees a God who is worthy of worship regardless of how life is going.
True worship sees a God Who is in control of all the situations of life and bends the knee to Him.
True worship is costly because it requires us to make sacrifices. Things like time, plans, pride, pleasures, secret sins, etc will have to be placed on the altar and given to God.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
