“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” (John 4:23 KJV).
One way to receive the blessings of God is to be a true worshiper of God and a lover of His Word. Jesus said that God seeks such to worship Him. He’s looking for people who will worship Him in spirit and in truth.
God is looking for people who will worship Him from their inner-most being and with all they have. Worshipping God in spirit and in truth means that the most important thing in the entire planet is your relationship to God Almighty. It is more important than your job, your friend, even your spouse. Your relationship to God is more important than your career, or anything else in your life. God is looking for true worshippers.
If you are a true worshipper, God is the first thing that comes to your mind. You look outside and see the sun and say, “Lord you’re the creator of the sun. I worship you.” When your feet hit the floor, you say, “Lord you’re the one who created my body so that I can operate in this planet. I give you praise and glory today.”
When you head to the job, or to school, you say, “Thank you Father. You’re the one that’s given me abundant life.” You’re somebody that worships God all the time. And God seeks such to worship Him.
God desires to be praised and to be worshiped. And He ought to be. He is our creator. He’s the one that has saved us from the ravages of the devil who desires to kill and destroy everything about us. God is the one that keeps bringing us the word. And keeps bring us the gifts of the Spirit, and keeps bringing us men and women who will share God’s Word with us and lift us up when we’re down.
It’s God who is the one that gives us the peace of God that passes all understanding in the middle of the temptation, test, and trial. It’s God who gave us the Holy Ghost so we can pray in other tongues and speak divine secrets of God. He’s the one that provides our every need. And every day we are compelled to worship Him.
I may have worked with Him every day for the last 20 years but it’s not enough. I’ve got to worship Him today. Why don’t you just lift your hands and worship God.
