The Highest Occupation | Psalm 100:1-5
from Christian Life Hosted by Sunil BP
The next time you sing the doxology in the worship service, remember that you are singing Scripture, a version of Psalm 100. This Psalm is a digest of instructions on how to worship the Lord. Who should worship the Lord? God wants the whole world to worship and give thanks to Him (v.1). How should we worship the Lord? 1. By serving (v.2). We are to serve the Lord with gladness because there’s joy in our hearts and because the joy of the Lord gives strength. 2. By singing. I fear that too often in our services, singing becomes routine. We hold the hymnal and sing the songs that we know so well, but our hearts and minds are a million miles away. Think about and rejoice in the words you sing. 3. We also worship the Lord by submitting to Him (v.3). Submit to Him. Follow Him. Obey Him. Finally, 4. We worship the Lord by sacrificing (v.4). You don’t need to sacrifice animals on an altar, but you can give your time, talent and your skills. Why should we worship the Lord? For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations (v.5). The highest occupation of the Christian life is worshipping the Lord. Never allow your worship to become routine or artificial. Worship Him with a joyful and thankful heart by serving, singing, submitting and sacrificing.
