Devotion:
Modern worship has been relegated to an experience you have on
Sunday morning. It is so much more than
that. Worship is a lifestyle that comes
from a changed heart, that is manifested through a changed life. Worship is not about style, music, lights, or
production. Worship is about the
subject, who you worship. We were
created to worship. Ever since the
beginning of time, mankind has been worship something. If it wasn’t God, it was someone or something
else. The Old Testament is chock full of
examples of people, especially the Israelites, worshiping someone other than
God. It wasn’t a problem of how they
were worshiping, but who they were worshipping, and the condition of their
hearts. You will worship the one who has
your heart. If God has your heart, all
of it and not just a portion, you will worship God with your whole life. Why?
Because He has your whole heart.
People can’t help but worship.
Watch T.V. for an hour and you will see tons of people’s objects of
worship from celebrities to cars to cats.
The Bible tells us in Matthew 6:21 that where your treasure is there
your heart will be. Simply put, you
worship what you treasure. Treasure God
and you can’t help but worship Him.
Treasure the things of this world and you will worship those
things. Who or what do you
treasure? Find that out and that’s who
or what you worship.
Daily Prayer:
Father, reveal my treasure
to me today. If it is not You, please
open up my eyes to see You for who You really are, so that I may treasure You
in order to worship You. I don’t want to
go through the motions of worship. I
want to worship in spirit and in truth.
Reveal Your truth to me today and may I worship You with every fiber of
my being, spirit, soul, and body.
Daily Challenge:
Get your check book or bank statement out and look at where you
spend most of your disposable income. And
then ask yourself what do you treasure.
Most people put their money into what they treasure.
