DAY 4 – The Power of Worship

Scripture:

1 Corinthians 10:31 NLT - 'So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.’

Devotional:

Have you ever gone all in for something or for someone? Studied as hard as possible for a test or practiced your hockey skills on the turf for hours on end? Or maybe you're familiar with going above and beyond for your best friend. Every day, no matter what, you’re there with them through thick and thin.

Why do we do this? We do this because these things or people have a high level of importance in our lives, and so we give them our all. When you give something your all, it makes an enormous difference to the strength of the friendship or to the level of your skill at that sport or subject.

Romans 12:1 [AMP]

‘Therefore, I urge you, brothers, and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.’

True worship is far more than music; true worship is to surrender your whole life to the cause of honoring God. Your speech, your actions, your friend circles, your character—true worship is when you commit your entire life to following Jesus and honoring God.

This is where and how we experience the power of worship. As we worship God with our lives, things start to change. As we transform every part of our lives to be God-honoring, the power of worship and the power of living life according to God’s Word become real. It’s important for us to understand that true worship is a life that authentically says, “I love and follow Jesus!”

REFLECT:

·Which area of your life can you start to use as an instrument of worship?

PRAYER:

Jesus, we offer our whole lives as worship to You. Help us to honor You in everything we do, from our thoughts to our actions. Let our lives show Your glory and love. Change us as we fully commit to You, and let our worship be more than just songs –– let it be a lifestyle. Amen.
