Are you
gaining ground in your spiritual walk? If not, you need to worship God’s
holiness and let it permeate and reset you.
January’s Awakening, Day 9
Worship is the highest and noblest
activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable.
—John Stott
We are saved to worship God. All that
Christ has done for us in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this
one end.
—A. W. Tozer
To worship is to quicken the
conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth, to purge
the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to
devote the will to the purpose of God.
—William Temple
Therefore,
since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and
so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, Hebrews
12:28 NIV
Since worship connects us with God,
it also connects us to all that God is. That is why worship is so critical to
our Christian walk. Connecting to Him connects us to His holiness, which serves
to purify our hearts and minds and resets them from our sinful self to the
holiness we are to strive for and which we will ultimately regain when we are
glorified at the Rapture. Scripture continually admonishes us to be holy as the
Lord God is holy. The only way we can continually move forward in this holiness
direction is to praise and worship Him and connect with the only essence of
holiness in existence—Him. Therefore, believer, if you truly want to become
spiritual and connect with God and all that He is, you must continually be in a
stance of praise and worship directed solely to Him.
