Rom 12:1 Therefore i urge you brothers in view of God's mercy,to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,holy and acceptable to God.this is your reasonable act of worship.
First and foremost forgive me for the late update but i do believe you have all been richly blessed by the Lord and not giving up the good fight of faith because it is the Lord Jesus who enables you to stand firm.In times of storm he is a shelter,in times of war he is our fortress.in our weakness he is our strength.
Back to the topic who or what do we worship we have been faced with so many distractions here that even finding some time to spend with God is not in our schedule anymore.I have been faced with challenges when it was time to sing praises to God,i knew that worship was about the songs that we sing until the spirit of God opened up my understanding to know that its not only about the songs we sing but how we live our lives in church at home at work or even when you meet strangers.In this society or in this modern day,you can find yourself sincerely worshiping but worshiping the wrong thing or person for instance money,sex,music,beats to a song,artist,your job,your worries,your problems,ministry etc and God is not in the picture.Worship is a revelation of who God is to you,knowing that your body is his temple where you carry his divine presence,worship to God is simply knowing that you can praise God without any instruments,no limitations,but you will find yourself clapping dancing as he puts a song in your heart,experiencing unspeakable joy,inner peace worship to God is knowing that you are a holy priesthood called to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Christ Jesus.I have often wondered what is unacceptable sacrifice to God,when we live according to the sinful nature doing what we desire to do to gratify the desires of the sinful nature and not fearing God,being involved in sexual immorality ignoring that your body is God's temple.Busy body always in peoples business,gossip,complaining as though God has never done anything good in your life,wavering between two opinions money or God,idols or God.Real worship to God is being open with God renewing your mind and knowing that you are a son he is the Father,you the clay he is the potter,you are the vessel and he is the one who knows what to do with the vessel or how to put it to use.One time i was at work and later at night as i desired to get into prayer i couldn't because my mind was filled because of the disappointment that i had faced prior,i knew i wanted to talk to God but i didn't even know how to begin,music couldn't do it for me,i tried to read the bible but i was only staring at it...so i knelt down and the holy spirit gave me this verse...be clear minded and self controlled so that you can pray 1 Peter 4:7 i had to be honest and this is what came out of my mouth God i know your word tells me to be clear minded and self controlled so i can pray but to be honest my mind isn't clear and i haven't controlled myself...in less than a few minutes i found myself praying.All God wants from us is that we give it all to him and he will take care of it worship is not just about raising your hands or jumping or singing the right notes its about being wrapped in the love of a heavenly Father,giving God your all because he gave us his all(Jesus his son)giving God the best sacrifice and not sloppy seconds,being honest with him how you feel letting him know what troubles you checking in on him,smiling back at him being ever close to his heart and letting him dwell in your heart.let us not put him in a schedule,program or in a box but let God be the center,the reason and let him be your all in all in Jesus marvelous name.Be abundantly blessed and have an awesome time as you live your life bringing glory to God for you were created for his glory Isaiah 43:7
