Part 8: Let’s Worship Him

Psalm 134

The late Dr. Archibald W. Tozer called worship “the missing jewel of the church”.   One would think that in our age of having a plethora of praise teams, praise bands, sanctuary choirs, gangsta gospel groups, hip hop steppers, and national recording gospel artist filling church houses around this country, that Dr. Tozer’s comments would be antiquated and way off point. However, could it be that maybe our plethora of worship options reflect that we are in an age of worshipping worship rather than worshipping the center of our worship-Jesus Christ?

How often do you genuinely worship God alone and in the assembly of believers?  This communal disconnect is the reason why the Psalmist penned Psalm 134. It is certainly to encourage us to worship the true and living God, but it is also a personal manifesto against giving God lazy or lethargic worship. The Psalmist wants to ensure that we do not simply go through the motions of worship but that we be properly motivated and prepared to give God our very best over and over again.  It’s about the authenticity of our spirits not our styles.

Jesus said in John 4 that the Father seeks worshipers?  Would He be approving of your worship or angry about your approach to worship?

What must you change to become an intentional and consistent worshiper?
