Sacrifice of Praise

How can we serve God with our worship?

How often do we think about this question? How often do we try to glorify God through everything we do? God wants us all, and trust me, He is most definitley worth it all.

Through God we should conitnually make sacrifices pleasing to Him to show our love and need for Him. We should not neglect to show others how great our God is through our worship- it pleases God. (Hebrews 13:15-16)

We should constantly be in tune with God- worshiping Him in the good AND bad times in our life. As children of God, we need to shoot for the heart of God and trust in Him knowing that He knows exactly what He is doing.

I fail, over and over again, but through God's grace I am forgiven and am given the chance to become more like Jesus every single day. It's so hard to stay focused with what all is going around us in the world, but God promises us that if we just stay faithful to Him that He will pull us out from all this mess and give us eternity in a perfect place- How amazing is that? I don't know about you but that feeling of eternity with my Father is what keeps me going every single day. God's mercy gives me fuel because I know that NOTHING can seperate us from the love of Christ.

God wants us to have an intense focus in our worship. It's hard, and honestly exhausting, but so worth it. God is worth every bit that we have because in all truth, we belong to Him. He made us, He created us, He loved us before we were made, He gave us this life, He gave us mercy and grace, He gave us His son to die for us, and He will never ever, ever fail us.

Look at your heart, what do you see? How do people see you and your love for Christ? We must constantly worship in spirit and in truth. God wants our FULL attention- give it to Him.

"When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of our deeds from before your eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause."
Isaiah 11:15-17
