The True Meaning of Worship

1 Chronicles 29:12-13
Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is
power and might; in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.
“Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name.”

Actually, basic beliefs about the Person and the nature of God have changed so much that there are among us now men and women who find it easy to brag about the benefits they receive from God—without ever a thought or a desire to know the true meaning of worship!

I have immediate reactions to such an extreme misunderstanding of the true nature of a holy and sovereign God.

My first is that I believe the very last thing God desires is to have shallow-minded and worldly Christians bragging about Him.

My second is that it does not seem to be very well recognized that God’s highest desire is that every one of His believing children should so love and so adore Him that we are continuously in His presence, in Spirit and in truth.

That is to worship, indeed.
