True Worship

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.


We often make empty sacrifices to God and then try to pass it off as worship.Forced worship is not what makes God first in our lives.Worship must come from a voluntary desire of our hearts to obey and follow Him.We must at all times realize that God is truly the most important thing in our lives and the only thing that truly matters.It is then we can return Him to His rightful place as the head of our lives.

The Apostle Paul understood this as he cried to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God.This is worship, we can no longer conform our worship to the patterns of this world.Ours is a life of sacrifice and service.We worship God with our life,everything about us should  now be a sacrifice unto Him."Not my will but thine will be done" should be our daily prayer.Our whole life is one of sacrifice and our living is a praise unto His name as we live a life pleasing to God.The act of worship will always cost us as we deny ourselves daily and joyfully give of ourselves to His will.

Today our idea of sacrifice is often limited to the couple of hours we give up on Sundays when we go to church.If this is your idea of sacrifice and worship you truly must do some reorganizing of your priorities.sacrifice is giving God our first, our all and our best.God demands first place in our lives, and not just on sunday mornings.Give God the first of your fruits He has blessed you with and see how good God really is...............
