Thesis: Many debates about substance, instruments, elements, etc which should and shouldn't be used in worship. Besides this, what is the overall pattern of what is true biblical worship?
1. v.1a Worship With All Your Heart. * "Heart", in Bible, is entire inside of person - emotion, intellect, desire, thoughts, will. * Undistracted sincerity , full attention * Inward praise of god, not just outward * Purity of motives - thankful, praiseful
2. v.1b; 3-12 Recount the Wonders of God. * Publically proclaiming God's deeds * His works should be dails news we announce
3. v.2 Worship With Gladness and Exultation. * "glad" = rejoice * Psalms filled with COMMANDS to rejoice, be glad, exult, be merry, be delirious * "exult" = jump for joy
CONCLUSION: * Are you rejoiceful about God's deeds and how does that translate to your joy in worship and your heart for Him? |
