Chapter Five
Praise and Worship
Melodies of love to the King and Lord of your heart, the sound of
thundering voices in the heavens that declare His praises, and
make His name great, and the whisper of a gentle love song in
worship to adore His presence and touch. To praise and worship
God is built within our DNA, a strong desire to worship. Within this
chapter we explore the heart and diversities of praising and
worshiping God.
1 Chronicles 16:23-29 "Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Each
day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish His glorious
deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things
He does. Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be
feared above all gods. The gods of other nations are mere idols
but the Lord made the heavens! Honor and majesty surround him;
strength and joy fill his dwelling. O nations of the world, recognize
the Lord, recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong. Give to the
Lord the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come to
worship him. Worship the Lord in all His holy splendor."
Wow wow and again wow at the incredible encouragement and
expression of worship in this portion of scripture. The passion and
urgency to worship is so clear, but yet why do we struggle to
worship God in such an expressive manner? Why do we admire
the passion of others, when we have the same DNA within us?
I believe the key to this lies in understanding the heart of worship.
So before we become technical in the expressions, lets see whats
required from our hearts.
