Instructions for Worship<\/p>\n\n\n
Greetings friends. Have you ever thought about how much our current situations affect our worship? Do you realize that if in this moment something happens to make you unhappy then that sort of worship is what you are likely to offer to God?<\/p>\n\n\n
The Lord will not refuse or despise a heart that is broken and contrite but those are repentant hearts. Brothers and sisters, how often do we repent or see the need to do so?<\/p>\n\n\n
It matters not what our experiences are. Whether we are happy, sad or in between emotions. Nothing should detract from our praise. Nothing is to distract us from worshipping God freely and from a pure heart.<\/p>\n\n\n
It is unwise for man to attempt to hold out on God or better yet to attempt to hold hard end. It is only by His mercies that we haven’t been cut off, therefore who are we to think that in laying out our terms and conditions that God will honor them.<\/p>\n\n\n
Psalm 100 is a favorite of many. It is a call to thanksgiving. To give unreserved worship to the Almighty. Today’s watchword from Psalm 100:2 reminds us as believers to, “worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing.”<\/p>\n\n\n
As believers, we oft experience days of doom and gloom, we cannot ignore what is happening in the world around us but we can choose not to let these things affect our worship and how we express gratitude to God.<\/p>\n\n\n
Colossians 1:12 reminds us also to, “give thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.<\/p>\n\n\n
William Arthur Ward said, “gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n
Until next week, begin and or continue to worship the Lord with gladness.<\/p>\n\n\n
Amen<\/p>\n\n\n
