Psalm 150:6 (NKJV)
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
My friends, there is nothing quite like spending time with our LORD in worship. Have you ever been worshipping the LORD and knew He was right there with you?
Could you feel His presence, His Spirit fill the room or place where you were?
There is a reason for that. You see when you love someone, you want to be near them. Jesus is no different and the fact of the matter is, He taught us this. John 4:24 (KJV) (Jesus speaking said) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The Greek word for “Worship” in this verse is, προσκυνέω – proskuneō – pronounced pros-koo-neh’-o . It means to be near, to be by the side of, to kiss, to adore. The Bible also tells us there is One who sticks closer than a friend. His name is Jesus! It even says in, Heb 13:5b (KJV) … I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
The word “Never” in this verse is a double negative. meaning, I will by no means, never-ever leave you. Even when the things you have done are not necessarily pleasing to the LORD, He is still waiting, right there beside you. Waiting on you to reach out your hands towards Him in worship and praise.
He wants to have this relationship with you so that in “Worship” you will understand that it is like you are kissing the hand or the face of God.
Oh, how beautiful is our LORD and vivid are the pictures He draws for us, just so we can understand the depth of His love.
We worship You LORD, Jesus! 🙂
