Worship is a verb.
It denotes activity and action. It is not passive, but active. Worship is something you do, not something that is done to you. The word “worship” is really not defined in the Bible, but it’s described.
Worship is praising God.
Reverence given.
Awe felt.
Adoration shown.
Homage paid.
Glory ascribed.
Thankfulness expressed.
It is veneration conveyed to Him who made us, loved us and redeemed us.
Worship is God-ward. Not man directed.
Worship is real, not artificial.
It appeals to the spiritual, not the temporal. To the sacred, not the secular.
It is unique. Special. Distinctive.
Worship is a function of both the head and the heart. It is directed by both understanding and emotion.
Worship is personal. I must engage in it myself. And although I join with other worshipers in an assembly, I am responsible for my worship. Accountable to God.
Today I am going to worship. Wherever you are in the world, I hope you have both the opportunity and the privilege to join with fellow Christians in worship.
“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness” (Ps 29:2).
