True Worship

by Richard

In Luke 4 Jesus has a discussion with the woman at the well about the best place to worship God. She’s confused, the Jews say it is Jerusalem and the Samaritans say it’s on a local Mountain. “What do you think?” She asks Jesus.

So Jesus told her that worshipping God was not about location but about worshipping God in “spirit and in truth” (24). God is seeking people who realise that they can turn to worship Him at any time and in any place. God is seeking people, who upon realising that He is there at every moment, turn life itself into an offering of worship (rather than putting on a show for a few minutes at the church and ignoring God in the rest of life).

Let’s turn our hearts to worship God when we look up and are captured by the beauty of the snow capped Mountains that tower above Madrid. Let’s turn our hearts to worship God when were stuck and down in those endless miles of traffic on a Monday morning. Realising that God is there at every moment of life let’s offer Him our sleep, our family times, our work times, our leisure times, our times with friends, our every time, as an offering of worship (Romans 12:1).
