Thursday Thought -- April 25, 2013


Good Morning Friends,

“Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise -- the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” (Hebrews 13:15-16)

Worship pleases God. Jesus said God seeks worshipers. “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” (John 4:23)

When we think of worship, we usually think of what we do on Sunday mornings and other times of singing and prayer. Those certainly can be worship when they come from the hearts of those who are participating. God longs for people to express their worship with their lips, not just at scheduled times of the week, but all of the time.

But what we do with our lips is not the only kind of worship there is. What we do with our lives can also be worship. Doing good and sharing with others, when done from hearts that are right, are sacrifices of worship to God. They please God.

We’ve been called to a life of worship. So, worship with your lips, sing praise to the Lord and tell Him how much you love Him. And show how much you honor Him with your life, too. God is looking for both kinds of worship.

His, by Grace,

Steve
