Psalm 103:1 “Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.”
Sometimes when I begin to think I understand what God meant by worshiping Him, I find a new area that hits me between the eyes. There are all the usual ways in our private and corporate worship but have you ever thought about your life being a praise to God? What joy He must find in His creation choosing to love and worship Him because they want to, that they choose to live in such a way as to bring honor to His name. Find out what God had in mind when He created you. Are you doing what He made you to do, or are you busy being caught up in the game of being what other people want you to be? When we begin to focus in on God and learn to know His Ways, our path becomes clearer and clearer. We are able to match up our God given abilities with our desire to serve Him. There is something so rewarding about doing what He made you to do. You find contentment, excitement, purpose and your life becomes a statement of your worship to Him.
