Real or Routine?

“And now Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires you to fear him, to live according to his will, to love and worship him with all your heart and soul, and to obey the Lord’s commands and laws that I am giving you today for your own good.” Deuteronomy 10:12-13

I have always thought that singers were so lucky, especially Christian singers; because they could lift their voices up in harmony with the angels and worship the Lord, and how sweet to His ears it must be.

It was not until just recently that the Lord shared with me that it is not about how good their voices are it is what is in the heart that is so sweet to His ear. It does not matter how off key I sing or if I even sing at all. It is the worship of my heart lifted up to Him that matters.

One of my favorite passages in the bible was written by David when He was worshipping the Lord.

Psalm 145:1-3 “I will praise you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. I will bless you every day, and I will praise you forever. Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! His greatness is beyond discovery.”

I encourage you to read the rest of Psalm 145 it is full of God’s love and I know as you read it you will begin to fill the same joy David felt. Use this passage to guide you in your time of worship.

Remember true worship comes from a pure heart. It is real and not routine, and it is our response to who Jesus is.

Prayer: Jesus each day we rise may we lift our hearts to You in worship. Jesus may our worship never become routine. You are more than worthy and one day we will all worship You in one accord. In Jesus name Amen
