Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'”_ — Luke 4:8
We either worship God or we are worshiping something else. But we can’t worship both. We must trade one for the other. Because in its very nature, worship is how we respond to the thing we value the absolute most! There can be nothing above or equal to it. The thing we spend most of our time thinking about, doing, giving the most attention to, putting all our energy into…that’s what we worship.
What am I worshiping? What things am I putting before God?
Challenge yourself to put that thing down where it belongs and put God up to where He belongs in your life: number one, the only one who deserves and is worthy to be worshiped.

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”_ –James1:22
True worship will lead us to action! As we worship the Lord we are changed and empowered. It all will mean nothing if we do not walk in that way. How can we be changed by the powerful and awesome presence of God and then return to our old ways? It would be insane! True change is seen in the way we live and in every part of our lives.
In order for our worship to be alive we need to change what we’ve been doing and make our worship and our lives not about us but about our King.
Remember when you worship the Lord, He reveals himself in a mighty way. So, live out your worship and let the Lord be glorified in and through your life.

“…let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.”_ — 2 Cor7:1
Understanding that we have been made holy will help us live a holy life and offer to God holy worship. Our worship should be set apart, for we are no longer our old self with the acceptance of Christ into our lives. Our worship then should not be conformed to the patterns of this world but should be done in Spirit and in Truth.
The offering of worship, which we give, should not be a copy of what the world does. So, be careful not to get caught in the old way of life, once you have been made new. For these offerings ought to be set apart and not a “leftover” of which it doesn’t have much value. Read more
