:: of Worship

What is worship? 

Worship is looking at God, listening to God, and loving God. 

I want to stand on the sea of glass around the throne and look at God. (Revelation 4:6) 

I want to sit in Abba's presence and listen to the things He has to teach me - and then tell others what I have learned.

I want to sing to God and show Him I will lay down the things I love to spend time with Him and love Him more. I want to show Him I have been listening, I have been beholding (or looking) at Him, and I have loved Him by obedience and devotion.

Pleasing Fragrance

"For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? For we are not peddlers of God's word like so many; but in Christ we speak as persons of sincerity, as persons sent from God and standing in His presence." 2 Corinthians 2:14-17

If the point of life is to love and know God, then what better way to live than to be the aroma of Christ to God, live in His presence, and sincerely lead others into the pleasurable presence of the Lord?

I want to live a Psalm 27:4 life - "One thing I asked of the Lord, that I will seek after: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, and to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple."

I want to enter into a Revelation 4 encounter when I worship; to soar in the beauty and wonder of Jesus.

"O Lord, I love the house in which you dwell, and the place where your glory abides." Psalm 26:8

Further up, dear ones, and further into the knowledge of God!

Colossians 3:1-4
