Worship From The Heart

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

Give me thine heart" is the first, the daily, the chief, the ultimate demand of the spirit of worship. For true worship is something which begins in the heart. It will please God for us to love him and give him our whole hearts in our worship of Him.

We must worship God in spirit and in truth, But the problem is, our head. Our carnal mind is enemy to God and the spiritual things He stands for. So even though you want to give God your all in worship, the carnal mind gives you a reason not to. It tells you things like "it don't take all that" or You don't have to put up with that" or God understands you are only human".  Now while this might seem right to the flesh and the carnal mind, they only seem right. This carnal way of thinking hinders our ability to worship God with our whole heart, and in spirit and in truth. We need come to the understanding that the carnal man has no understanding of the spiritual man. The carnal man can't understand suffering for another, can't rationalize the ideal of self sacrifice, it can't grasp the notion of losing your life to save it, or the thought of denying ones self, taking up a cross and following a crucified Lord. These are the truths which we who believe must come to live with, and is a great part of our worship of God. So we must be willing to let Christ be our head that we might surrender to Him our whole heart. Having the mind of Christ by the surrender of our hearts to Christ.

Give God your whole heart in worship and let your eyes see his marvelous works in your life. Blessed is the man who gives his heart to God in worship, than they which take the possessions of the world.
