Reason to Worship God

The fact that God is the one true God and we are His creatures is reason enough to worship Him. He alone deserves the honor due His Name. He alone merits adoration. He will not share this with any other. To the Father, Son and Holy Spirit alone should all true worship be directed. But it is not. But God is working things so that His church would praise His glorious grace forever. One day this will be our supreme privilege and it will come easy in heaven. Here on earth though, worship is hard work. We must swim against the many tides that rip at our souls in order to pull off worship. But we are not alone. The Lord Himself inhabits the praises of His people. Jesus is our strength and our sufficiency.

We are worshipping souls. We automatically worship. Left unchecked, the human heart is an idol factory. We need to be called, directed, spurred on to adore God. That's why scriptures like Psalm 95:6 tell us, "Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord God our Maker." We worship Him simply because He alone is worthy of all praise. "Great is the Lord and most worthy to be praised" (Psalm 48:1).

We have reason upon reason to worship God. He is good, great, awesome, holy, pure, just, righteous, loving, kind, and awesome; just to name a few. It is our privilege, in Christ, to worship God in all of life. As the pattern of our life, lifting up our hearts and hands to God. Continually offering up a sacrific of praise, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His Name (Heb. 13:15). Want another reason to praise God? This one will blow your mind. God Almighty will enable us to praise Him. What He calls us to do, He enables us to do by the power of His Holy Spirit. The One worthy of all praise inspires praise in us and enables it to become a reality!

Worship the Lord in holiness, come before Him all the earth.
