How do I honor God in the way he deserves?

Worshiping God for who he is and what he has done for us can be expressed in many different forms and diverse environments, but it’s the heart behind the actions that matters to God. Throughout Scripture we see how God’s people worshiped him on towering mountaintops, inside homes with dirt floors, at a lavishly adorned temple and in dark prisons. They demonstrated their devotion to God with singing, dancing, sacrifices and public and private prayer. What’s most important to God is not the way that we choose to worship him, but the motivation that directs our actions.

The Heart’s Intent

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
For the Lord is the great God,
the great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for he is our God the flock under his care. (Psalm 95:1-7)

When God calls us to love him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, he is demanding that we hold nothing back from him.

KEY VERSE

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. (Psalm 95:1–2)

KEY IDEA

I worship God for who he is and what he has done for me.

KEY APPLICATION: What difference does this make in the way I live?

We daily acknowledge God for who he is and what he has done for us.

We worship God, privately and corporately, with the songs we sing, the words we speak, and the way we live our lives.

When we attribute worth to God as a child of God, unmerited worth is attributed to us.
