What Does It Mean To Worship?

Dia 6 de 7

We worship by trusting God.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. —Corrie ten Boom

We trust so many things every single day of our lives. 

We trust that the chair we sit in is going to hold us. 

We trust that the food we eat is not going to make us sick. 

We trust that the internet signal will be strong when we need it.

We know how to trust. Placing our trust in things we can see appears to be a relatively easy task for us. We just don’t always place our trust in the right things.

What if instead of placing our trust in ourselves or in something temporary, it became second nature for us to trust God in that way? Choosing to trust God as our first instinct rather than our last option invites deep, spiritual growth in us. Think of how peaceful our lives would be if this was our reality.

On the day when we don’t get the job we interviewed for, instead of believing that nothing good will ever happen for us, we choose to trust that He is good and He wants the best for us. When we feel overwhelmed with defeat and discouragement, instead of sinking further down into a hopeless abyss, we choose to trust that God is for us and is the healer of the brokenhearted.

So, how do we get to that place of trusting God wholeheartedly? It’s really very simple: by getting to know Him. We can’t trust someone we don’t know. And the way we get to know Him is by spending time with Him, reading His Word, surrounding ourselves with like-minded Christ followers, and immersing ourselves in His Truth. The more we learn of His character, His ways, His plans and His love for us, the easier it is for us to trust Him. 

Trust and faith actually go hand in hand, and are often considered to be synonymous. The author of Hebrews writes that “without faith it is impossible to please God.” When we walk in faith and choose to trust God despite what every voice around us is declaring, we please God. This just might be the simplest way you can worship Him. 

How To: Worship

  • Read through Psalm 121, and declare it to your God as you do. 
  • When you are faced with the option to doubt God’s goodness or plans, verbalize to Him that you are choosing to trust Him, even though you may not feel like it.
  • Write down any revelation that God speaks to you through today’s Bible reading or devotional.

What Does It Mean To Worship?

Our hearts are postured to worship. As Christ followers, we were created by God to worship Him. But we tend to offer our adoration and allegiance to people and things other than Him. Come along with us on this journey as we dive into what worship is and how we can learn to live a lifestyle that puts God as the top priority in our lives.
