Worship- Evan Hilllis

So, first off, I would like to apologize for getting this last post in about a whole 4 whopping weeks late, but here it is!

Worship is such an amazing and holy thing. It's funny how my definition of worship has changed while as my faith has grow, increased, and developed. It all started off as just those songs we'd sing in youth group about that Jesus man, then it was about connecting with Him during those songs, then it was a mindset, and now it's a way of life.

By living in the Spirit, we can worship Christ with everything we do. Through song, dance, and even by planting potatoes, or something random like that!

Recently I was reading about when Satan tempted Jesus and reading this devotional brought back the image of Satan standing next to Jesus and saying,"Look at all of this, this beautiful creation of your father's. You can have all of it, every single last piece of dirt and drop of water, if you bow down and worship me." Jesus then turns to him and says, "No! I won't do this for it is written: 'You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve!'" The beauty of this image is not only in the triumphant defeat of Satan, but also in what Jesus is choosing to take upon himself when He chooses to worship God instead.

He chooses to be crucified, to have false accusations thrust upon Him, and all the other things listed in our devotional and not. He looked at what Satan had to offer, literally, the WORLD, and Jesus said, "No." He would rather suffer and serve all of humanity for all of eternity and live the life of a true slave than have every wish and desire fulfilled forever and ever! Amen!

If that's isn't worthy of worship, what is?
