- Worship is telling God how great He is because you can't help it
- Let Heaven and Nature Sing
Luke 19:40 NIV // “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
Psalm 19:1 // The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Psalm 96:11-12 // Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
Luke 12:1-7 // Six days before the Passover, Jesus therefore came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. So they gave a dinner for him there. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table. Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my burial.
Psalm 150:6 (NIV) // Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
- Worship is not a suggestion, it is a command
- Lifts the spirit – garment of praise, if we lift Him up, He draws us to Him
- Puts the world and the enemy on notice
- Changes things – even if not my circumstance, it will change me
Hebrews 13:8 (NIV) // Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever
Genesis 2:7 (NIV) // Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
- When we worship, we give back to God the breath He gave to us
