Worship is the time that you give to the Lord to announce to
Him of how glad you are that He is shaping your life and also for God to
review your growth and give you instructions. Literally it’s the time that you
fall on your knees to pray, sing praises of worship, meditate on his word, and
serve others.
If we were to live in total and complete purposes of our
lives we would then be all worshipping at all times. The hum in your mouth, the
music in your car, the background music in your office and your profession will
all be proclaiming of how good He who created you IS.
Whenever we read in the Word of God of those who were given privy
of how heaven will be they all depict in heaven there’s a throne and thousands of saints
are worshiping and praising God. The idea
of God is thus for all of His creation to serve Him the same way the whole idea for creating a car is for it to serve humankind and when it finally fails, we destroy it. Not to know God and even failing to serve Him
is calling for destruction, we humans call it death.
The fullness of God is and can only be enjoyed by operating
in His presence and in His will. Men and women who do this are always bright,
always smiling, always humming, content, without worry, confident, understanding, respectful, humble, non-judgmental, just full of virtue.
If you are without virtue in some areas of your life then
there’s always work that needs to be going on within you; a striving to a
particular end. That goal can only be achieved through spiritual exercise which
will consist of being connected at all times to God. Your time needs to be for
God and all of your other activities, a replication of His love.
There’s a common phrase in the world of acting ‘Be in
character”. This tells the actors to act the part as prescribed on the script. Worship
is ‘being in the character’ of God or doing things as God. The reason men were
angry with Jesus is because by calling himself the son of God he was equating
himself with God. The son of God is also God as the son of man is man, for the
son of anything is itself.
John 5:8 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder
to kill him; not
only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father,
making himself equal
with God.
Jesus was in the character of God all throughout his life.
He was showing us that man is supposed to emulate God
in all things.
Most of us are only in the 'character of God' or in worship very little times and therefore we are always missing out on the presence of God in all those times that we are tuned out. We should always engage in worship so as to always portray God. The very act is an act done by giving our time, our strength and our mind to Him.
Worship is a thus the giving back of God’s love. It comes
with lesser baggage. Worries and concerns, complaints and discontentment are
just but history.
