If we truly love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength, True Worship will occur!  Loving God in such ways means we will passionately want to please Him.  Loving Him in such ways is part of God’s process of teaching us how to worship.  It is part of how He draws us closer and closer to Himself.  This process is part of God’s design and His Master Plan of salvation for us, and for all of mankind.

Knowing God, and knowing how to worship Him, does involve a deep, abiding love for Him.  The author of Psalm 18 knew how to express it quite well.  Let us follow that example.

• Tell God you love Him, and tell Him that you will always love Him!

Psalm 18:1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

• Express to God why you love Him, Who He is to you, and how you will trust Him!

Psalm 18:2-3 (2) The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. (3) I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

• Share your reasons for loving God with others.

Psalm 22:25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

God’s worship was never meant to be compartmentalized.  It is to be ongoing, and ever overflowing throughout our daily lives.  We are to be worshipping our Great God in our most private moments as well as during the times when we are completely and entirely public in expressing our love and faith.

Let us be faithful and open to God in our private moments of prayer, in our study of His Word, and in our joyful worship.  And, let us NEVER be ashamed of our devotion to God in our public worship.

Psalm 119:80,116 (80) Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. (116) Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
