Worship that Pleases God

Worship, in a general sense, is bringing attention and honor to someone greater than yourself. In its purest sense or the Christian sense, it is pointing everyone's attention to the only true God.

In actuality, worship can be expressed to God in every aspect of our lives. When we pray, we are bringing attention to the fact that God is able and is the provider of all of our needs. When we work, we can worship God by being diligent, excellent, and ethical. In our finances, we can worship God by giving and being wise stewards of God's resources. Every time that we do something because it reflects God's character, we are worshipping Him.

The question begs to be asked, "Are you and I living every moment for the purpose of reflecting God's great character?" Does every decision go through the filter of this question, "Is this like my God?"

If we want to be effective Christians, we must ask God for this kind of heart. We must have a heart that loves who He is and desires to imitate His character in all that we do.
