The Body that Worships God

"Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." Psalm 29:1-2

Doing all things to the glory of God should be in the mind and focus of every Christian. For indeed, glorifying God and enjoying Him forever is our chief end. (Westminster Shorter Catechism QA 1, Rev. 5:8-14) In fact, nothing should delight our hearts and minds more than the glory of God. The Apostle Paul exhorted Corinth, "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." (1 Cor. 10:31) The glory of God should be the mind and focus of every congregation of the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, as faithful congregations worship God, such a focus must also be evident and active.

As we continue in our series, "What is the Church?", it's important to consider the church as the body of believers that gives all glory to the living and triune God in our worship of Him. In fact, nothing is more central than this in Reformed worship. Our Directory for the Public Worship of God (DPW) states, "The end of public worship is the glory of the triune God. To that end, Christ builds his church by perfecting the saints and adding to its membership such as are being saved—all to the glory of God." (D PW 1.B.7)

David rightly gives a call to worship in Psalm 29. In these verses, notice how David connects the holiness and glory of God to the idea of beauty and splendor. God's people are called to come into God's presence and worship what is beautiful about Him, namely His glory and holiness. Now, in calling God's people to give glory to God we need to understand that David calls us to ascribe glory to God in worship. We ascribe glory to God, but we don't add glory to Him. Further, God is omnipotent (all powerful). Considering God's aseity, His glory is independent. He is fully complete and lacks nothing in Himself. Therefore, we aren't giving God glory or strength He doesn't already have. We humbly and thankfully acknowledge His glory and power. We give God the honor that His holy name deserves.

Since worshiping God rightly is so important, how should worship be done biblically? Proper, biblical worship is...[Click to read the full devotion at the link below]
