In the NT worship is joy and thanksgiving to Christ for providing life for us thru His death on the cross. We are instructed to worship, but not told where to worship. We are not required to worship in certain places, saying certain things, however, worshipping with people who think about what God wants and thinks is better for us and keeps us worshipping only Him and not anyone or anything else. Worship includes prayer, praise, and study of God's Word and it must be done with a spirit and attitude of truth.
When our minds and bodies are yielded to God, everyday can be a special experience. Worshipping God requires us to not be about selfish thinking and not making our reputations be about having things or getting more that are contrary to God's instructions. We are to get rid of the shouldhaves, couldhaves, and oughttos, and view God's mercy as the motivating factor that leads us to true worship. Its been said that grace is getting what we don't deserve and mercy is not getting what we do deserve. Daily thank God for His mercy and grace as you are prompted to worship Him with the beauty of your life in 2011. Happy New Year!
