Worship 11-13-08

Themeverse:
JOHN 4:23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers
will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of
worshipers the Father seeks.

1 Corinthians 10:31 - Therefore, whether YOU are eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory.

Lately we been talking about worship without really thinking about it. Today we finnaly notice we were talking about worship in a really weird way. But that is not the point today our devo is going to be your talents.

Each one of us God has made in His own image. Therefore He gave all of us an ability to do something better then someone else. Some talents easier to find then others. But everyone has amazing talents in them.

Lets use the common example one of the simplest but complicated way to worship/serve God. Playing an instrument. God gave you the talent to learn an instrument. He gave you the talent to let you play well. So how can you repay Him then? Well easy become a worship leader and serve Him. (By worship leader i mean leading others in worship not like the leader of your worship band) (enless they want you to be their leader but remeber your true leader is Christ) Thats one of the simplest and best way but at the same time not easy to do. Because if you get distacted everyone gets distacted to.

Another one that is hidden within almost every single one of us would be talking. God gave us the talent to speak or use sign langauge. Use that talent to spread God's word in anyway possiable.

Or like Ally, Greg, and me we enjoy writting short stories. We love reading our Bibles and understanding it. That is what lead us to write devos beccause of our hobbies. This way we serve God by writting to help others get closer with Him.

Remeber our ultimate goal here on earth is to serve God/ Christ Like. Best way to do this is to serve God and at the same time that really helps you grow in Him.

Our 2 theme verse today. the First one talks about worship. How are you suppose to worship just like oh its the truth? No you have to worship both in spirit and truth.
Back thne most of them would go to Jersulam to worship. But we dont need that anymore all that matter now is your heart. That is all God is looking for. In truth is His word. Are you listeing to His word? Obeying them..

Our 2nd verse talks about whatever you do. God gave you talents and in everything you do bring glory to Him. Thats all it means your eating, drinking, playing guitar, hanging with freinds, and etc. Show Christ like through you be a mirror. and do it for the Glory of God.

Worship doesnt mean just singing worship means alot more:

Challenge:
Wheres your worship?
Using your talent?
