Worship

Worship at it's simplest definition is to "give worth to something or someone". In Christian circles it is defined as the central act of Christian identity, the purpose of which is to ascribe honor and worth to God. I liked a post that I read on another blog that said;

God is creative and relational. Because he is creative, we are unique. No two of us are the same. Because he is relational, we are desperate to hear from him for our next step.

If we are His, we are related to Him through spiritual birth and because of that we worship Him. We desire to draw near and hear His voice. When we hear, we must respond, there is no other option. That response can be positive as in the case of Isaiah in chapter 6, or it can be negative as in the case of Jonah chapter 1. How will we respond?

I encourage you to spend time in worship, both private and public, this next week.
