Journey of Worship

One of the things that’s not clearly spelled out step by step in the Bible is how to worship. For us in North America, that’s tough because we like to have processes and procedures clearly spelled out. If we do this, then this will happen.

As a result, we’ve created some definitions and mythos about worship that may not entirely capture the fullness of what it is. We read the desire of God that we express our love, devotion, gratitude, thanksgiving, and appreciation through worship to Him alone, but we don’t always grasp the expansive nature of that.

Despite not giving us a step-by-step list of how exactly to worship, the Bible does give us a ton of insight into the actions and attitudes of acceptable worship offered to the Creator of the Universe and Redeemer of our lives.

I came across this over at ExperiencingWorship.com. It’s a thorough review of the different Hebrew and Greek words used in the writing the Old and New Testaments as it relates to worship, praise, and so forth.

If you’ve never thought about that, check it out. It’s incredibly enlightening. If you are familiar with some of this, take a moment to reconsider how these things are played out in your life.

Go here to read the article. This is one you’ll probably want to print, save, bookmark, share, whatever.
