Everything Praise Him

This Is The Day The Lord Has Made And I Shall Rejoice In It!

LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE HIM

Scripture: Romans 12:1
There are many worship styles in today's church but worship means yielding to God and coming before Him with praise and thanksgiving -  yielding to God as our Lord and Master. Romans 12:1, we see where God asks us to offer Him our bodies, our lives, our entire person.  This, He says, is true worship.

In genuine worship, we bow before the Most High God, the merciful God of creation.  We crown Him as Lord of all that we are.  We consent to His gracious, transforming work in our lives; we agree that He can work in us so that we'll be willing and able to do His will.  In other words, we choose to let Him be God in our lives.  This is the highest thing we can do.

Worship also includes adoring God, admiring Him, appreciating Him, and letting Him know how grateful we are for His mighty works and the blessings He bestows on us.  Worship includes praise and thanksgiving. We thank Him for His constant acts of goodness, his gifts, his spiritual blessings and for the very breath that we wake up with every morning.  We stand in awe of His greatness and sovereignty.  We celebrate together in exulting His majesty and splendor, His limitless power, and His bountiful love, which we do not deserve.  We thank Him for the Grace He gives us daily and magnify Him.  Praise includes speaking highly of God to other people, as well as directly to Him.  We crown Him with praise from our tongues through, singing, lifting our hands to him as God Almighty.

Seed Word:  The crown of worship are the jewels of praise and thanksgiving.  Jewels that radiate the glory of God to His delight and ours.  We come before His altar to offer the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Praise is the avenue through which blessings are received. Praise, prayer and worship is an incense to God's nostrils and heaven stands silent for thirty minutes as the angels present the bowl of voices (incense) to God before the throne in heaven. Rev. 8:3.
