Worship That Pleases God
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”
God wants all of you: God doesn’t want a part of your life. He asks for all your heart, all your soul, your entire mind and all your strength. He is not interested in a halfhearted commitment, partial obedience and leftovers of your time and money. He desires your full devotion, not little bits of your life. There is a right and wrong way to worship.
The kind of worship that pleases God:
Accurate worship – It must be based on the truth of scripture, not our opinions about God (John 23:24) and to worship God as he is truly revealed in the bible. Authentic worship – Worship is your spirit responding to God’s Spirit. When Jesus said, Love God with all your heart and soul, he meant that worship must be genuine and heartfelt.
Thoughtful worship – You must engage your mind. I encourage you to read scripture in different translations and paraphrases; it will expand your expressions of worship. God wants our corporate worship gatherings to be thoughtful too. Practical worship – The Bible says, Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is a spiritual act of worship. He wants you to live for him.
