DEVOTIONS

It’s More Than A Song

Read Deut. 6:13 & Hebrews 10:22
The Hebrew word for worship is Shaw Kaw, which means to bow down, to prostrate oneself, to honor, reverence as divine or Supreme Being.  The Greek word is Pros-Koo-Neh-O and paints a more vivid picture, it means to kiss the hand towards in token of reverence or kissing like a dog affectionately licks his master’s hand.

We talk often about worship, but do we really know what it is?  In the passages for today we see two truths about worship.  First, worship is reserved for God alone.  Secondly, our worship must be sincere and from the heart.   
King David said that if he could make one request, he would ask to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. That sentiment comes from a proper understanding and real experience of worship. There’s nothing better or more fulfilling than worshiping God once we learn how to do it.  Here are a few suggestions as to how we can enter worship with God.
 
  1. We should come with gladness, not gloom.  Psalm 100: 1 – 2 says, “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.”
  2. Come to make a joyful noise to God, not just sit quietly.  Psalm 150: 6 says, “Praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals.”
  3. Come to give, not just to get.  Psalm 100: 4 says, “Give thanks to Him and praise His name”.Come focused on God, not distracted.  Psalm 100: 3 says, “Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.”
