The Missing Jewel

He is your Lord, worship Him.

Psalm 45:11

Once A. W. Tozer called worship the “missing jewel” of the modern church. There are too many churches, too many Christians that do not know how to worship God, or even why worship is our primary responsibility before Him. We have churches that emphasize preaching, churches that stress evangelism, and churches that highlight body fellowship, but worship is the priority commandment from God. We are called to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and we develop our love for Him in worship.

Our lives are changed and our spiritual walk is strengthened as we come before God and worship Him. It is the priority commandment in His Word. We will never truly know God until we worship Him, and we will never really worship Him unless we know Him. He is sitting on the throne in heaven, worthy of honor and glory and praise, awaiting our worship. He inhabits the praises of His people and can be found there with them as they worship Him. He is a great God, a King above all gods who will be gloriously worshiped throughout all eternity. And He wants you to know Him.
