Greetings,
People are searching for deeper and more intimate worship. We were made to worship God and to behold His glory. This type of worship also precedes transformation. Intimacy in worship should become the earnest, sincere desire of every believer.
One of the best ways to enter into God’s Presence is not to merely speak or sing about Him, but rather directly to Him. David said that we should enter into His gates with thanksgiving, by offering gratitude and thanks directly to the Lord. Instead of merely saying, “I’m grateful for what God has done for me,” let’s develop the habit of recalling and naming those blessings; then telling Him “thank you.”
We should be able to handle that pretty well, but what comes next? Have you ever tried singing directly to the Lord?
Psalm 96:1 (NKJV) – “Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth.”
The psalmist didn’t mean singing about God, but to Him. At times, we can stumble in our worship because our vocabulary might be limited when we attempt to express our love and emotions to God. Singing words that others have written can be a powerful way to express our own feelings, if we sing them to God rather than just merely joining in during a “congregational” song service. Try it the next time you’re in church, and especially in your personal devotions. Shut everything else out and sing to the Lord!
Father, I want to see Your glory. My desire is to worship You from the depths of my heart in intimate and sincere worship. I want to give You the glory You deserve. You are worthy of the deepest and most heartfelt adoration that I can offer. You are worthy!
Today, I’m worshiping with Reggie Royal and Judah in a worship medley.
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
