Do you Worship God?
The Psalmist tells us,
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.” Acts 17:24.
So my question to you, if you are a Christian is where do you worship God?
Do you only worship God at church on Sunday or at some special church meeting?
If God is pre-eminent in our lives we should be worshipping him more than on just Sundays or at some special service. We need to worship Him at other times also and I don’t mean by simply listening to worship music. While listening to worship music is good. It should not be a replacement for taking time to actually worship God yourself.
You can turn on the worship music but sing along with it. Take time to speak words of praise to God.
And here’s something to think about. Let your words and deeds praise God. Francis of Assisi wrote,
Please think about it.
The Psalmist tells us,
Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD.
Psalm 150
The Apostle Paul said,“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.” Acts 17:24.

"Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, harmony;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
Francis of Assisi
I know it can be hard to praise God sometimes. But if we are making God a reality in our life. Our words and deeds will praise God. Not only that they will point others to God.Please think about it.
