April 23, 2009 Psalm 95:6

"Christ alone is worthy of all our worship."
So yesterday was about prayer, today I would like to talk about worship.

Psalm 95:6 states, "Come, let's worship him and bow down. Let's kneel before the Lord who made us." This is also a verse in a song: "Come let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord, our God, our Maker, For He is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, just the sheep of his hand, just the sheep of his hand."

Just like it says in the song and in the scripture, Jesus, Son of God, is worthy of all our praise/worship. Out of the abundance of our hearts, the mouth speaks, and what we say reveals what we are. A+B=C, our hearts reveal what we are. If we aren't praising/worshipping Him with all our hearts, then we are not being true to Him and to ourselves.

In John 12:1-6, Mary brings out very expensive perfume and washes Jesus' feet with that and her hair. That's how much she praised/worshipped Him. It's not wasting, it's worshipping. How much have we done? Because Jesus Christ is worthy of all our worship, true worship is costly worship. What is our worship costing us? We should be able to stand firm and say, "I will not offer to the Lord, that which costs me nothing." God gave us our lives and everything we have right now and in the future also. In return for that, what are we willing to give to Him?
