Food For Thought Fridays

WARNING: This may be a bit heavy.

Just thinking about this.

Romans 1:24-25 says, "Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen."

In these verses, whether they like it or not, everybody is worshiping.

We will worship something or someone because you and I are worshipers. It is what we do. We can't help it. We can't stop it.

Every day, there is a battle for our worship.

Money, entertainment, food, alcohol, sports, sex, popularity, the list goes on and on. . .

We call them addictions, but really it is a worship problem. We have chosen to run to these other things to meet our needs and desires rather than the Creator who is blessed forever and ever.

We may not be able to stop worshiping, but we can choose to make our worship count for today and for eternity.

Shalom.

A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. Jn 4:23

You really need to have the right tool for the right job.

In our relationship with God, we often miss the point of why we were created. We were created for His glory.

As a result, we find ourselves being a hammer when a screwdriver is needed. We are misapplied tools because we don't know our proper role in the Kingdom.

We were created to give God glory. To worship Him.

I'm not just talking about music. I'm talking about everything you say, do, and think (yes, think) being a deliberate act of worship to give the Almighty Creator, who happens to be our Father, the glory He deserves.

AW Tozer said, "If you will not worship God seven days a week, you DO NOT worship Him one day a week." Think about it.

Blessings.
