Worship

Worship(noun) \ˈwər-shəp
The act of bowing down to or honoring someone or something.

Psalms 95 explains worship as shouting aloud to the Lord, singing, kneeling and/or bowing down to the Lord. It’s both rejoiceful and reverent. It should change with the circumstances. Psalms 96 tells us how to worship. It says to sing a new song. Worship should be fresh. Worship should come from within. Repeated phrases do not make for truthful worship. Psalms 96 also states worship should be daily. One should worship regardless of the situation they are in. Worship should be brought as an offering to the Lord. It needs to be a gift worthy of God.

Psalms 96 also tells why we should worship. God is our savior, He gave us life. He is most powerful and should be feared over all others. He made the heavens and the earth. He is our judge, and will judge us in truth.

David is the best example of what worship is. His wife reprimands him for his “undignified” public display. David tells her that he will be even more undignified and humiliated. He didn’t care what the world thought of his worship to the Lord. He knew it was the right thing to do.

” Life is 10% of what happens to you, 90% how you react to what happens to you.”

One’s attitude plays an important role in worship. It effects one’s self and the people around them. Do you allow the world to define your emotions or do you? Regardless of our situation, God is worthy of our praise. If we can overcome our problems, others may overcome theirs be following our example.

So remember, worship is: physical, emotional, based on faith, and always personal.
