By Joel V and Wee Liem
We had Joel Vijay and Wee Liem to share on the last part of the Devotion series and what a great job they did! Joel started off by telling us what worship IS NOT.
- Worship is not about you – it’s about GOD
- It’s not about MTV – worship is about adoration to God, not entertainment
- It’s not about music – we can still worship God when there’s no music
- It’s not about Sunday – yes people, we can worship God EVERY day
Worship IS sacrifice, obedience, service and reverence. Giving God our best is worship.
Why worship, you ask? Well, that’s cos
- God deserves our worship (Psalm 100). He has created us and given us every blessing there is and he has been faithful all the way.
- God requires us to worship (John 4:23-24). We are made to worship God. We can’t ignore our purpose!
- God enables us to worship (Hebrews 10:18, 22). We can worship God in so many ways because Christ has paid the price for our sins through the cross. We can now enter into his presence without having to slaughter cows in church. Ain't that cool?
So now, how do we live a lifestyle of worship?
- Be God-conscious. Think of him and respond to what he is telling you.
- Love God and show it. Jesus loves us despite all our flaws. We need to learn to love God as well and not just say it, but to also show that we do love God. We do this by loving others and by following God’s commands.
- Walk right with him.
At the end of the day, we become like what we worship. So who or what are you worshipping? Are you becoming more Christ-like or more like something else? Is there someone / something else taking God’s place in your heart? If there is, tell God you’re sorry and learn to do things differently.
