What is worship? Is worship all about singing praises and hymns to the Holy One? Is worship just about praising God about His handiwork? Is worship just physical actions like dancing, shouting, kneeling and proclaiming? Romans 12:1 says, "to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship." Sacrifices do not always mean dead sacrifices. We can offer Him our lives, giving Him control over us and submit everything to Him. Worshipping God is also doing or saying things that please Him. However, by saying things that please Him doesn't mean proclaiming or saying "Amen", "Thank You, Lord.", "Praise God!" or "Hallelujah!". These words are cliche. Thus, it is often said without understanding the deep meaning in it. People use them for the sake of using, but do they really think of God or really express the form of gratitude from deep within their hearts? However, if someone is really desiring to express his deepest gratitude to God, he would automatically come out with words like "I respect you.", "I appreciate Your work" etc. It is more pleasing to receive two specific compliments than to receive two hundred vague generalities. Thus, pleasing God is not only praying or praising Him, but to mean what you do and to understand what you do. This is true Worship!
The above are some thoughts by me and some are extracted from the Purpose Driven Life. Well, the song posted yesterday, "Above All Else" was based on the same thing. The true worship.
Well, it's the amaths paper one today. It was kinda difficult for me. It might be an easy paper, maybe it's because I didn't put in sufficient effort in my revision. Well, I reap what I sow... He who sow wickedness reaps troubles... hahaz.... Well, that's all... bye
