Time To Worship
‘ Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”
– Revelations 4:8 (NIV)
‘ Worship changes the worshiper into the image of the One worshiped ‘

The word worship actually evolved from the Old English word weorthscipe. “To worship, then, is to ascribe worth to someone or something.”
Worship happens anytime you turn your heart toward Heaven and say, “You are worthy.”
When you clear your calendar for prayer, turn the radio dial to praise music, or use your morning jog to recite Bible verses or your lunch break to meditate, this is worship.
Worship happens in neighborhoods, in living rooms, in open pastures. And, yes, worship happens in churches. When the people of God make a public and plural declaration of God’s goodness, worship is happening.
God is on the hunt for those who will imitate the angels, for people who will open their hearts and mouths and declare, “Glory to God in the highest Heaven.”
The Father… is actively seeking such people to worship Him. — John 4:23 NCV
Are you stressed? Worship God, who could store the universe in His pocket and the oceans in an eyedropper.
Are you ashamed? Worship Jesus, whose love never fades.
Are you bereaved? Open your heart to your Shepherd. He will lead you through the valley of sorrow.
Do you feel small? A few moments in front of the throne of your loving King will evaporate any sense of insignificance.
Are you excited? Give all the glory to God in humble adoration. Acknowledge Him as the source of all goodness.
Worship works wonders.
For your own sake do what the angels did: Give Jesus the gift of praise.
Don the robe of grace, soar on wings of faith, and take your place in the heavenly chorus and sing, “Glory to God in the highest.”

LET US PRAY:
Dear Heavenly Father, all glory and honor to you in the highest.
No man can see the end of Your grace.
No man can know the end of Your love.
No man can see the end of Your glory.
No man can know the end of Your power.
As far as the heavens stand
Stand above the earth.
You are exalted, Unlimited God
You are exalted, Unlimited God
I worship you today and forever more.
In Jesus’ name. Amen
