WHY? WORSHIP


 

WORSHIP is one of the most profoundly used words in the Christian world and in the church itself. Worship is often mistaken and misunderstood by the very people who believe in Christ or shortly to be called “CHRISTIANS”. I feel that we as Christians don’t really understand the true meaning of worship in its true sense and just do it for name’s sake. It is because of this that I believe, knowing why we need to worship is very essential.

Isaiah 43:21 says like this,

"The people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise."

 

What God is saying here is this,” I created humans to set forth praise to Me”. So, this means that the very purpose of every human on earth is to bring a sweet aroma of praise unto God. But, does this mean that worship is a rule that we must follow? And if we don’t do it does it lead to some consequences? Well, if we think that way then our perspective of worship is so wrong.

 

Let me tell you why. We humans were created with one special gift that is FREE WILL. What does this mean? Well, when we correlate the two facts 

  1. we are made to worship
  2. we have free will
we come know that we are to worship the eternal god out of our free will and not because we are told to do so. if that wasn't the case then God wouldn't have given us free will.

So, this means that God loves His people praising Him out of their free will, with a truthful heart, because they want to. But nowadays we don't worship God because we want to but because we are supposed to or do it because our parents do so or because we shouldn’t be seen differently or because everyone in church is doing so and so many other reasons. But the only reason that God really expects from us is “God I worship you and bring praises to you because 'I' want to, because I love you for who you are in my life”. The very expression of worship is based on ‘truth’ because it says like this in john 4:24


"God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

it is very essential that our expression of worship, be it songs, be it praying, be it praising God or any other expression of worship should be truthful and from our hearts and not because of anything else. It is only when we worship God this way, that we actually bring a sweet aroma of praise and worship that God is longing from us. It is this truthful worship that pleases God.


So this is what God expects from us when we worship:

1.     A truthful heart of worship.

2.     Worship because ‘we’ want to.

3.     Worship God and Him alone for who He is.

! WORRY ! – YOU DON’T NEED THAT

Worry is an emotion that we cannot avoid in our lives, as there is always something in our lives to worry about. Everyone who is reading this is worrying or has been worrying because of the present situation of the world. With the rise of the pandemic in the world, everybody is worried about how they are going to get through another day. Worrying is something all of us do even in the absence of a worldwide pandemic. It is mostly a part of our lives and most of the times we don’t even recognize the fact that we are consumed by worry. We would even find ourselves in situations where we would not be able to do any work at house or where we study just because something else was running at the back of our mind that constantly kept bothering us. It may be some situation we couldn’t figure out a solution for. Anything for that matter it’s not about what keeps us worried but rather the fact that we choose to worry. Do you ever think that you could be someone whose life has everythin...
