John 4:21-24 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is
coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in
Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do
know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come
when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth,
for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his
worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
The test of whether or not we worship in spirit and in truth
is not just how we praise, but how we live. The days of animal sacrifices and
celebrating commanded feasts may be gone, but the intentional reflection God
sought by instituting those commands remain. He wants the focus of our everyday
lives to have His will at the core. He wants our hearts to be receptive to the
work He is doing around us. He wants our eyes to be open to join Him in His
constant invitations to join Him in His work. Worship is not just singing to God,
it’s living Godly lives.
Father, Keep me ever mindful of where You are working around
me. Give me the awareness to know and the strength and courage to act. I want
my life to be worship to You. Amen
