brian - week ten - worship

^ God created that

worship is awesome

it's true that we should be worshipping God through simple acts such as washing clothes, making our beds, and cooking food; we have to remember that God gave us all these things and that we are blessed to even have clothes, beds, and food

however, one of my pastor's quotes is "we cannot worship comfort over Christ" - we have to be willing to get in uncomfortable situations if it means glorfiying God; like choosing not to do something that is contrary to what God commands, even if everyone else is doing it, for example, or simply standing up for what we believe in

in the end, we cannot worship ourselves (the created) but we can only worship God (the creator)

some more worship quotes:

"Be thankful...but be careful that you don't become so enamored of God's good gifts that you fail to worship the giver." - AW Tozer

“Everybody has something, that if they lose it, they won't even want to live life anymore. That is what you're worshiping.”

“The awareness that God is present and a recognition of who this God is make for meaningful worship.  In other words, authentic worship of God is a function of our affirmation that he is here and our understanding of who he is.  The vitality and relevance of our worship is directly related to our view of God.”
