12.23 Experience a life of worship

Worship goes beyond simply knowing His promises (thanksgiving) or His attributes (praise). It is a faith that comes from knowing His person (worship) – knowing Him as our Heavenly Father.

The Christian life is a life of worship. Adam and Eve were created to commune with Him in His presence but sin got in the way. Today, Christ has reconciled us to God through the cross so that we can enjoy an intimate relationship with our Abba Father. We have been given a ministry of worship as New Covenant priests of God.

Set aside some time to worship. As you spend time in His presence, you will also grow in your consciousness of His Person. He is Love and He is full of love. He created the universe and He made us in our mother’s womb. In His presence, you will experience being seated in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

As you behold Him, your life will be surrendered to Him as a response. Through His eyes, you will see life in a different perspective. Whatever problems you may have, they diminish before Him. As you commit your problems into His hands, you will receive strength and faith for your victory.

Set your heart to the mode of worship by being conscious of His Person and Presence throughout the day. Occasionally, you will feel led by the Spirit to worship Him by singing and making melody in your heart (Eph 5:19).

(Ephesians 5:18-20)
18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...

You may feel inspired to sing a song, or a new song, or to sing in the spirit. Let worship be a part of your daily lives and let worship fill your temple.
