WORSHIP with BENDED KNEE, KNEELING –
Psalm 95:6WORSHIP as we ENTER IN – Psalm 42:1
The
Word also tells us to WAIT and SEEK the Lord – Lam 3:25-26. Sometimes
the move of the Spirit is very gentle and peaceful. The
Lord speaks in a still small voice and we must quiet ourselves to hear him. Whatever
way we approach God, God is pleased!
God
knows our heart and the motives of our heart even when we don’t.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked; who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the
mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of
his doings.”
(Jer 17:9-10)
He
knows when we worship Him with sincerity of heart.
He
knows when pride rises up and we will not allow ourselves to express love for
Him.
He
knows when we come before Him with clean hands and a pure heart and a right
attitude.
Some
worship unashamedly.
Some
worship with a gentle, quiet spirit.
Some
worship with tears.
Some
don’t show their emotions outwardly but are inwardly touched.
God
is a gentleman. He will not make us do anything against our will but He does
desire our praise, for that is where He is enthroned (Psalm 22:3).
If we don’t praise Him, the very stones will cry out and take our place (Luke 19:35-40).
If we don’t praise Him, the very stones will cry out and take our place (Luke 19:35-40).
