A Reflection On Worship

When I need renewed spiritual perspective

Worship is a learned art. It is an attitude of the heart that continually acknowledges God and values His character. It is the ultimate reflection of reality in the mind of the believer. And it is the key to blessing.

Worship gives us a new perspective, placing us in the realm of God’s power, wisdom, and love—the realm of eternal truth. It opens the eyes to what is real. With natural eyes, we often see our struggles as huge obstacles and our chances of overcoming them as slim. We are easily overwhelmed. We know our limitations, and God’s omnipotence seems distant. But when we worship Him, we shed those earthbound illusions. Our worship brings us into the light of His Presence and reminds us who He really is.

God’s greatness makes all other things—especially the hard things—seem small. It allows us to pray with confidence and faith that we, through Him, will overcome. When He fills our hearts with His Presence, no burden can fill our hearts with its weight. Learn the art of worship, and be blessed.

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

Psalm 89:15
