The Motivation of Worship

“Praise the Lord!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty expanse.
Praise Him for His mighty deeds;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.” Psalm 150:1-2

There are two basic truths that can lead to sincere worship, changing the perspective on problems and giving hope for endurance.

“Praise Him for His mighty deeds...” (Psalm 150:2). God created the heavens and earth. He created you. He sent His Son to earth to bear your sin so you might receive eternal life. He has filled you with the Holy Spirit who always extend the mercy and grace of God for your every need.

The list goes on. Think of those special times when God answered your prayers, provided guidance in critical situations, protected you from harm, and specifically worked in your life. Thank Him that he is still working in your present circumstances to bring about positive future results even though that may seem impossible right now.

“...Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.” (Psalm 150:2). God never changes He is always loving, always caring, always working for your good. His power stands firm in the midst of any storm. Spend time just thanking Him for who He is.

Praise lights the candle of hope and encouragement in the midst of blackness that no ill wind can snuff out. Worship is the way to put your problems in God’s capable hands.

“Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” Psalm 95:6
