Worship
As we allow the Holy Spirit to dwell within our temple; God’s divine wisdom becomes a significant part of who we are and how we think. Jesus Christ died for our sins washing us clean from remaining in our former sinful habits. We become transformed by the grace of God when accepting Christ as our Savior; striving to live in righteousness and truth. Divine knowledge (the Bible) is a powerful tool provided to us for aiding in our spiritual growth as we fervently seek to fulfill God’s mighty purpose in our lives.
Just as Job endured great tribulations in his lifetime with unrelenting faith and worship towards God; we are encouraged to do the same; by remaining faithful as well as thankful to God throughout all circumstances which allows us to demonstrate our undying love for Him. The Bible teaches the importance of staying true to the greatest commandment of all time: Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” It is imperative to love God with our whole being because only then will we continue to strive for righteousness; developing a more focused heart that will help us to live according to His divine Will.
The following scripture depicts how serious Job was about his love, honor and worship of God during an unimaginable time of profound loss, heartache and suffering:
Job 1:20–22~Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
Just as in the example of Job, we all must endure various trials and tests to cultivate inner strength and faith necessary to overcome countless hardships of this life. As we mature with a reverent heart, faith, forgiveness and hope in the midst of turmoil; the closer we become to offering God the required depth of unconditional love comprised of heart, mind, body and soul.
Some people may believe that it is an impossible task to love God wholeheartedly in a world consumed by such widespread evil; but we must trust in God’s Word which confirms that all things are possible with Him. All commands of God are obtainable to those who believe and willingly receive the free gift of life and promises through the blood of Jesus Christ.
1 John 5:3-5 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
For those of us who are committed to living by the power and grace of the Holy Spirit will be blessed with the omniscient presence of God Almighty dwelling in our midst. If and when we backslide, we must ask for forgiveness with a repentant pure heart so that our sinful ways are transformed into a lifestyle which is pleasing and acceptable to our Heavenly King.
The more we endeavor to follow Christ; our faith will increase with the ability to resist temptations of the devil. Let us seek a life of truth, peace and love by encouraging one another to pursue joy in the loving embrace of our Almighty Creator as we continue to build each other up rather than to tearing down. It is my prayer that we all learn to walk in the never-ending wisdom, love and grace of Jesus Christ in the hope of making this world a better place to dwell.
