Worship the Lord!

worship the Lord! make time to worship the Lord! worship as if your life depended on it. express your love and gratitude for the one who created you! today or tonight, find a quiet place to just empty yourself out before God and be filled up with His Spirit! Give Him thanks and praise!

king david had a reason to worship the Lord. he knew the importance of going back to say "thank you God" he knew the importance of worshiping the Lord when it was most necessary.

in 2 samuel 6, king david danced in worship and praise before the Lord. he did not care who saw him. he had a good reason to worship too. the ark of the covenant was coming home. the ultimate symbol of God's everlasting presence was coming back home.

king david found a quiet place to worship and he danced before the Lord until nearly all of his clothes fell off. it was his way of worshiping with all his might.

sometimes when you are in the middle of a battle against the evil one, you are being attacked on all sides. remember that your praise will confuse the enemy! stand there in the middle of battle, and as he attacks you will all of his might, you worship God with all your might. 'my praise causes things to look better,' says the song, 'it loosens and breaks every fetter.'

we are commanded to love the Lord our God with all our heart as Jesus said in Matthew 22:37. worship is symbolic of complete surrender to God's presence and will for our lives. what better way to express our love than through absolute worship of the one true creator God? worship increases faith!
