True Praise & Worship Of God – Part 4

In Part 1, Part 2 , and Part 3 of True Praise & Worship Of God we looked at the importance and the many benefits of starting your fellowship time with God and your day with praise & worship of God.

In Part 4 we will continue to look at the many benefits of starting your day with praise & worship of God.

True Praise & Worship Of God

Praise Means to Highly Value God

The root of the words Praise & Worship God means to “place high value on something or someone (God)”. You are God’s First Love & Treasure & Passion, and now God wants to be your First Love & Treasure & Passion. Your Treasure means that God is more valuable, more important, and more precious than anything or anyone else.

Starting your prayer & fellowship time (and your whole day) with Praise & Worship God helps you to focus on God and get ready to hear His voice. Hearing God’s voice is the most important part of your prayer & fellowship time with God.

Praise God In The Difficult Times In Your Life

You need to start your day with praise & worship of God. Praise helps you to focus on God in your daily life. And it lifts your spirits during difficult times.

God is always at work in you and in your life. He allows and uses difficult times for a great purpose. Praise God for what He is doing. Even if you do not understand what He is doing. Especially if you do not understand. You do not need to understand, you need to trust God.

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren” – Romans 8:28-29

When you read the entire chapter 8 of Romans, you will see from the context of these verses that Paul is talking about difficult times. When Paul says “all things”, he is talking about suffering and difficult times in your life.

The ultimate and higher good that God wants to bring about is to transform you to be more and more like Jesus. A person of high quality character. A person of honor and glory, like Jesus.

Praise & Worship Of God Is A Reflection Of Your Relationship With God

Starting your day with praise & worship of God reveals a lot about your relationship with God. And also about the condition of your heart.

God wants to develop in you a heart of true love and worship for Him. A heart that is fully devoted to Jesus. And a heart that is hungry for a deeper and closer fellowship with Him.
