How to worship God

Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.”

The Bible gives us a command to worship the Creator. One may wonder, how do we worship the Creator God? Here are some ways we can use to worship Him:

ü  Sing – Singing songs of worship, of adoration and of praise is a way of worshiping God.

ü  Pray – As we speak to God in adoration in prayer, we are definitely worshipping Him.

ü  Preaching and witnessing – The Bible commands us to preach the word of God. Tell others of His goodness, of His love and of His mercies. By doing this, we are worshipping Him.

ü  Acts of mercy – As we feed the poor, dress them, help the needy, and show acts of kindness to our fellow brethren, we are worshipping God. He says, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25:40. Whatever we do to our fellow brethren, we are doing it to God Himself.

ü  Obedience – Let us not take the word of God lightly but let us do as He says for this is one of the greatest ways to worship Him. He says, “…to obey is better than sacrifice…” 1 Samuel 15:22. Obedience shows love and respect towards Him and it can never be overemphasized. Obedience can also be a test to our loyalty to God. When we obey Him, we honor Him but when we disobey Him, we show disregard to our Heavenly Father. Whilst obedience does not save us, it shows us on whose side we are on – the Lord’s side or the devil’s side.

There are other ways we can show or express our worship to God. I have just chosen the above five ways for they seem to sum up everything for me.

God bless you in all you endeavors to worship Him.
