Worship

On Thursday, we had our amazing Panji and Lina sharing with us about worship. The church in our homes shared with one another what worship is all about. Panji was explaining how worship is not about the 'singing' that we have on a Sunday. Worship is in fact our very relationship with the Living God.


Worship is the surrendering of our every being to the One who knows it all. Worship is acknowledging the One and Only God who loves us and who has given His all to us. Worship is living in the fear and reverence of God,  enjoying Him everyday of our lives.

When our lives get so connected with His Spirit, there is only one of us. We walk and breath and live in His being. We commune with Him to know His heartbeat. We acknowledge His presence in our lives, when we wake up in the morning, when we go to work, when we meet with people, when we rest, when we have fun, you get the idea...every single thing in our live, we can include Him who holds together the whole universe!

I love waking up, thanking Him for another great day and opportunity to bring glory to Him. I love thinking of Him and all that He has done for me and my family throughout these years of my life. I enjoy singing to Him in unknown tongues that magnify the Great and Almighty God who deserves our praises which can't only be declared by words alone. I love strolling on the street singing and talking to Him. I love going on holidays, knowing that there would be so much fun and adventures because He was there with us.

Relationship with the living God is not just on a Sunday morning. It is not only during church in the homes meeting. If I were to only commune and spend time with my husband two times a week, for a total of maximum 6 hours, I don't think our relationship will go anywhere. I like to think of him all the time, spend loads and loads of time with him to know him more and share my thoughts and my life with the one that I love. This is the same with God. Although He is not seen but as we know Him more, He will be more real than any 'real' person that you know on earth. He is more tangible than any concrete things that you could feel only with your 5 senses. Oh, He is beautiful!

Words just can't describe the feeling when we get into a living and abiding relationship with Jesus. When we commune with the gentle and loving Spirit of God who is at the same time possessing the limitless power of God! It's dunamis! You feel like exploding, so to say!

I just love to fall in love with my Lord everyday. More and more I want Him, more and more I need Him, more and more I want to know Him for who He is and share my every detail of my life with Him.

It's amazing how Peter exerts the church to live godly lives because this is how the people around us can see the testimony of God's love in our lives which is greater than words alone. Our lives will be reflected through our relationship with God. If we want to have a great and honourable lives which glorify God, we need to involve Him and worship Him in all that we do.

That is the very act of our spiritual worship as we offer up ourselves as a living sacrifice to God.

"So get rid of all malicious behaviour and deceit. Don't just pretend to be good! Be done with hypocrisy and jealousy and back-stabbing. You must crave pure spiritual milk so that you can grow into the fullness of your salvation. Cry out for this nourishment as a baby cries for milk, now that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness."

There is a "growing into" our salvation. Salvation does not just end on the day we are saved. We are to grow into the fullness stature of Christ.  This hunger to live a sold-out life for God is our very act of worship to Him who is worthy of it all! :)

Let us continue to worship the Lord our God with all of our lives everyday!
