12.16 Worship is a progression of our relationship with God
We have shared about worship as an experience of entering God’s presence. The key to entering boldly to the throne of grace is through righteousness-consciousness. It is a wonderful thing to experience the tangible presence of God in worship.
Today, we will share on another aspect of worship. Worship is also a progression of our personal relationship with Father God. As we grow in our relationship, we also grow in our worship.
Earlier we quoted these verses, “Enter into His gates with THANKSGIVING, And into His courts with PRAISE” (Ps 100:4). Psalm 96:9 says, “WORSHIP the Lord in the beauty of Holiness!” It is the progression of our relationship with God.
The progression of our Christian walk starts with thanksgiving, progresses to praise and culminates in worship. A new believer first experiences the grace of God and responds with thanksgiving. Then he begins to understand the character of God and he responds with praise. When the believer comes face to face with the person of Father God who is so magnificent, majestic and awesome, the only response is to worship in His holy presence.
There is a transformation within our lives as we progress from thanksgiving, to praise and to worship. We come to a point where our lives become the expression of the Person of Christ and His perfect will.
Over the next week, we will elaborate on worship as a progression of our walk with God. This will help believers to understand the 3 phases of our relationship with God, which culminates in true worship that God desires.
