Worship

DEFINITION OF WORSHIP OF THE TRUE GOD. The english word "worship" is derived from an Old English word "worthship". The word describes actions and additudes that esteem and honor the worthiness of God and express awe and adoration to him. True worship is God-centered, not human-centered. It focuses on God's character traits. Christian worship involves jesus' followers appropriately responding to God's character and prescence by expressing gratitude for who he is and what he had done for us. Sincere worship requires a faith commitment and an admission that God is the all-powerful Creator of heaven and earth. It means acknowledging that he is the Lord-the Leader and ultimate authority--in our lives. We were created to honor and worship God (psalm100:2, Isaiah 43:6,7;Romans 12:1, Col 1:16,17; revelation 4:11)

Nehemiah8:5-6"Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them;and as he opened it, the people all stood up: And Ezra praised the LORD, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded 'Amen! Amen!'Then they bowed down and worshipedthe LORD with their faces to the ground...

Wow! the above is from my fire Bible but it really resonated with me because i am searching for deeper and closer worship all the time because i know God has even more of himself to show me, if i'll look deep enough and take the first step...Did you know that Amen means "i agree" and Hallelujah means "Highest praise, or praises" isn't that cool!!!!!!

Well i'm done for the current moment just because my attention span has done run out but i'll probably be back, and with more stuff! lol
