Worship
God
Fact
One: We are worshiping God!
Fact
Two: God sees our worship!
Being
conscious of these two facts should greatly impact our worship!
WE
ARE WORSHIPING GOD! When we sing, we sing "to the
Lord" (Eph. 5:19). When the lesson is taught, we are studying
to present ourselves "approved to God" (2 Tim. 2:15).
When we give, we are "proving the sincerity" of our
love for the Lord (2 Cor. 8:8). When we pray, we do so knowing that "His
ears are open" to our prayers (I Pet. 3:12). When we observe
the Lord's Supper, we are doing so "in remembrance"
of the Lord's death (I Cor. 11:23-25). Let it be said again for
emphasis: "We are worshiping God!"
GOD
SEES OUR WORSHIP! God sees and knows everything about us (Heb.
4:13). The Master promised, "where two or three are gathered
together in My name, there am I in the midst of them " (Matt.
18:20). When we worship, God sees our sincerity or indifference, our
reverence or laxness, our effort or ease, our piety or
presumptuousness, our praise or pretense, our conscientiousness or
coldness! May we always remember, when we assemble to worship, that "we
are all here present before God" (Acts 10:33). God sees!
How
different our worship when we recognize these facts! How
enthusiastic our singing! How fervent our prayers! How solemn our
observance of the Lord's Supper! How generous our giving! How
relevant the message and how reverently we listen!
Worship
is a privilege! Worship is a task requiring discipline! "God
is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and
truth" (John 4:24). When you go to worship, go to worship!
