Come...Let Us Worship

Psalm 95:6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

Worship. What is it? Who do we worship? Who or what is the priority in our life? Whoever or whatever takes up most of our thoughts, and dedication, is the center of our worship. Let me ask you this, "Who in our life has ever done more for us than God?" I'll answer that for us. No one! Therefore it is the Lord, who is our Creator, and who gave His life to redeem (save) us, that deserves all our worship. In this verse the psalmist is calling us to bow down, and kneel, before our God in worship. The terms he uses indicate that we should be in a prone position, laying ourselves down before our God, paying Him the honor, and respect, that He deserves. When was the last time any of us just stopped, and bowed before God? When was the last time we gave Him the respect, and honor, He deserves by praising Him, and thanking Him for all He does, in spite of who we are, and how unfaithful we can be? Our God is always better to us than we deserve. May I also remind us that worship is also a lifestyle? Yes, it is a lifestyle. Worship is about how we live our life, how we treat others (based on God's Word, not on how we feel). Worship is about thanking God, and praising Him every day, under all circumstances, because regardless of how bad we may think life is treating us, as God's children we can always find something to thank Him for. It's called the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and praise. A sacrifice, because it is not always easy to give. However, He is ALWAYS deserving of it. So today, let us worship Him, not only in bowing down before Him, but in living for Him as well.
