How do you qualify your day with Jesus at the helm?

• Do you sit back and do a simple high-five in the air when things go your way?
• Do you fall to your knees in prayer?
• Do you start yelling at the top of your lungs?
• Do you sing a song?
• Do you recite a Bible verse?

How do you honor God when God honors you?

The K.I.S.S. ~ The whispers of worship!

Matthew Henry believed that true worship is not just about the outward actions we take, but about the inward attitude of our hearts.

In his commentary on Psalm 100, he writes, “True worship must be with a humble heart and a holy fear, and in the exercise of faith, hope, and charity, those great Christian graces.”

Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

² Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

³ Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

⁴ Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

⁵ For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

The whispers of worship.

I really think we are missing the mark in worshipping our heavenly Father.

We do what works in the moment, but we don’t apply it fully.

Henry said, “Worship must be performed with sincerity and uprightness of heart, and according to the revealed will of God.” This was in response to his commentary on what Jesus said in

John 4:24

 ²⁴ God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

Charles Spurgeon, a prominent 19th century preacher, also had much to say about worship. He believed that worship is not just something we do in church on Sunday mornings, but a way of life. In one of his sermons, he said, “True worship is not a momentary act, but a continuous attitude.”

How do you qualify your day with Jesus at the helm?

Are you choosing to be in His presence or doing the minimum just to get to the next thing?

God deserves our worship; the praise for what He has done and what He is going to do. We need to have more gratitude than a sassy attitude.

How do you think your relationship with God would grow and change if you woke up and went to bed singing His praises and thanking Him for all He’s done?

And if you’re not sure, think about your spouse’s response.

I know it would change how you talk to God, and how you see Him in your every day.
