Worth-Ship

Had a session of shepherding together with sheepie learning together about the meaning of worship. The best part about shepherding is that you get the opportunity re-learn things. Not only re-learn but to be re-convicted.

Is worship about the nice slow songs we sing? Is it about the instruments being properly tuned? Is it about whether we feel like worshipping or not?

In fact, no.. Worship is not only through songs or mood. It does not depend on our character or where we are or who we are. It does not depend if songs are sung with musical instruments or in tune.

John 4:23-24 says "Yet a time is coming and has no come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. God is spirit and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth."

True worship depends on our heart attitude. We worship God through our lives. It is the prostration of our souls in humility and contrite submission. It's to proclaim His majesty and graciousness. Then.. Do I worship God only when I receive good things from him? Do I worship Him even when I am going through bad times? If true worship depends on my heart attitude, is there any hinderances in my heart that obstruct me to be a true worshipper?

As I was preparing the lesson, Those were the questions I threw to myself. If I am called to be the salt and light, the ambassador of Christ, am I living a life that is set apart for the Lord?

One thing I re-learn is "Worship is the short form of Worth-ship. It is the Worth that God holds in our lives."
