The word for today is - Worthy !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Worthy !
 
Let's look at John 4:23-24, But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. To worship God is to ascribe to Him supreme worth, for He is uniquely worthy to be honored in this way. True worship is on giving the best we have. God demanded the very best from His people. He will not accept anything less than the very best that we have to offer Him.  Jesus said that true worshippers will worship God in spirit, and Jesus also said that the true worshipper will worship God in truth.The true worshipper will worship God with that part of himself that is made in the image of God, his spirit. This comes from within,it spring forth from the inner man. True worship then is worship from the inside out. There can be no doubt, that this means that acceptable worship will be circumscribed by the precepts of God's word. When Jesus prayed to the Father on the night of His betrayal  He said in John 17:17, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." Since the very beginning of time God has revealed His will concerning the kind of worship that He will accept from His creation, and He has repeatedly judged those who failed to worship Him according to His word.True worship requires total commitment of our body, mind and spirit.The Bible warns us not to worship anyone or anything else. We are not to worship, saints, statues, angels, money. Anyone or anything that becomes more important than God, and turns our hearts away from Him is an idol or a false god. God says in Exodus 20:2-3 “I am the Lord  thy  God ,which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me."God is holy, righteous, and a loving Father, and He is worthy of our praise and worship. Read Deuteronomy 6:5, And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
