A Rhythm of Worship

Having your best summer yet will depend on your willingness to worship God with an undivided heart. “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.” — Matthew 15:8-9 1. Authentic worship requires a proper view of God. What Does Honoring God Look Like? Honoring God is ascribing glory to Him. “Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts! Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!” — Psalm 96:6-9 Honoring God is enjoying Him. “It is not only permissible to enjoy God in worship, it is absolutely essential if I’m going to truly honor Him.” — C.S. Lewis “For although they knew God, they did not worship Him as God…” — Romans 1:21 2. Authentic worship requires a proper view of self. Authentic worship has less to do with the posture of your body and more to do with the posture of your heart. “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.” — Matthew 15:8-9
