Worship isn’t easy...It’s not.
Imagine that God said — “travel 200 miles by car.” So you get into your car and drive 200 miles. No problem.
But what if you ignored the part about the car — and tried to travel 200 miles by walking?
Big problem. But that’s what we do, too often that’s what we do with worship.
We ignore the words “by the Spirit of God.” We enter into worship thinking we can worship by our own power.
But then ... We get discouraged or give up.
The good news is that God gives us all the help we need so we can worship.
That’s what Paul tells us in Philippians 3, where he says that we “worship by the Spirit of God” (Phil 3:3).
That crucial word “by”...not like bye, bye, nor is it like buy...it is "BY"
When Paul says we worship by the Spirit of God, he means – we are not able to worship God on our own...We need help to be able to worship.
Help comes when we seek the work of the Holy Spirit...meditate on the truth of who God is...and
THEN ... Set our heart's on the truth of God, and ----
Behold Him.
Think on Him.
Trust Him. Then just lift your voice and declare to God.
God, You are glorious — loving — faithful - and I will worship You!
And you know, I'm just sayin'....
