Theme of Psalms

In the last few days I have been doing my devotions from the book of Psalms it has been a great experience because I am learning again the importance of worship.  Worship is an attitude of the heart expressed.  The Christian was born and made to worship.  It is at the very core of who we are in Christ.  We were not saved for eternal life only but to worship and serve the Lord in the beauty of holiness.  We worship the Lord with our thoughts, words, actions and attitudes.  Worship comes through our lips and by what we do.  Every action should be for the praise and glory of God.  Jesus said in John 4, that we are to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth.  Truth is an honest expression of love for God.  Your life is a sacrifice of praise.  Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit so we should glorify God with our bodies.  Everything we think, say, and do displays the glory of God or should.  What bothers me is that many of us today do not express the glory of God as we should.  My exhortation today for all of us is that we examine our hearts to see if we are honest worshippers or just fair weather friends. Do we really glorify God or are we just going through the motions?  The choice is ours.  Let us live like this could be our last day on the planet because it could.  If you had only five minutes left and you knew it, what would you do?   I know what I would do, praise the Lord.
