But that is not worship. Worship, praise and glorifying God occurs only when God's Word is taught truthfully and our inner being responds with longing to honor, obey, exalt and thank Him.

THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN. (NASB) Matthew 15:8-9 |
He wants our heart to long for Him. The words of the songs should have meaning. Jumping, sitting, standing - nothing you do will express true worship if your heart is distant. We must honor Him by preaching truth. We must honor from our spirit - from inside, with a heart that longs for and reaches out to Him. Jesus said, " . . . those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
Conclusion: The wise men who visited Jesus as a baby came with one purpose - to worship.
