 Worship is a response to who God is. Worship begins with knowing God. The more you understand his holiness, majesty, mercy and love, the more you are moved to worship him. Psalm 29, 2 says, ascribe to the Lord the glory. Do his name worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. John 4 24 says, God is spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

Understanding True Worship

Worship must be rooted in truth, right understanding of God and spirit, genuine heart posture. It is not based on rituals or emotions alone, but a deep connection with the truth of who God is. Worship requires humility and surrender. Worship is not about us, our feelings or our preferences. It is the emptying of self and the exalting of God.

This involves submission, repentance, and a yielded will. Romans 12, one says, I appeal to you, therefore brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Which is your spiritual worship. This verse shows that true worship is sacrificial. It's not just a song.

It's a life that is laid down in obedience and reverence. 

The Heart of Worship

Worship is heart deep, not just lip service. God is not moved by empty rituals or religious performance. He looks at the heart. This people draw near with their mouth and me with their lips while their hearts are far from me. Isaiah 29 13. Worship must be authentic, not routine. If the heart is disconnected, it is not true Worship.

Expressions of Worship

 Worship expresses love and adoration. Worship is the natural expression of love and gratitude for God. It exalts his worth and beauty. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind. Luke 10 27. This verse shows the holistic nature of worship.

It involves every part of you, emotions, intellect will and strength. Worship produces reverence and awe. True worship cultivates a sense of holy fear and reverence before God. It leads to obedience, not just emotional experience. Let us offer to God. Acceptable worship with reverence and awe for our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews 1228. Worship should not be casual or careless. It is the act of bowing lo before the king of glory. 

Worship as a Lifestyle

Worship is a lifestyle, not an event. Worship is not confined to music or Sunday services. It is a continuous expression of love and obedience in everyday life. And whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians three 17. Worship is in how you speak, how you treat others, how you work, and how you live your entire life becomes a song of worship. 

The Posture of Worship

The true meaning and posture of worship. Worship is giving God the glory, honor and reverence due to him. The posture of worship is humble. Let us bow down in worship.

Psalm 95 verse six. Obedient, if you love me, keep my commandments. John 14, verse 15, sacrificial. Romans 12, one. Authentic John 4 24. Grateful. Hebrews 1315 wholehearted Mark 1230. 

Conclusion: Daily Surrender

True worship is not something you do occasionally. It is who you are as a believer. It is the daily surrender of your heart, thoughts, choices, and actions in response to the greatness of God.
