John 4:23-24
"But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." To worship God in spirit and in truth, is to declare that God is worthy of our reverence. We do it with a heart inclined toward God and in submission to Him. We worship God when our attitudes, actions, and words declare that He is worthy of our praise. It is also expressed in our daily lives through prayer, scripture reading, acts of kindness, gratitude, pure thoughts and showing Christ's love. Oftentimes we offer worship to God out of a sense of duty, or in expectation of blessing, or as a result of being taught a tradition. The Father in heaven is seeking true worshipers. Let's all worship Him in spirit and truth.

Matthew 6:26-27
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? When we trust God and abide in Him, His peace and contentment surpasses our anxiety and, everyday worries about things that don't matter. Our heavenly Father takes care of the birds, how much more valuable are you? You are of ultimate value to God. Leave all your cares and concerns to Him and He will take care and provide your daily needs. God has declared us of ultimate value by sending his Son to redeem us. We should commit to pursue what is of ultimate value, the Father and His Kingdom. When we do that, the necessities will fall into place. Let's seek God's wisdom to know that God values you more and, trust Him in all your cares. |
