WORSHIP

"'Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.'  Jesus said to her, 'Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountian nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father'" (John 4:20-21).

 

It's consistent throughout history for men to dedicate "places" to worship God.  There is nothing wrong with that as long as we remember that God is too big to fit in our building and that "our place" isn't any better than "their place".  Acts 7:48 declares, "The Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands."  1 Corinthians 7:19  reveals the kind of house that God lives in, "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God?"  God does not live in man-made houses.  He lives in God-made houses--human houses.  That means, as Jesus said, you don't have to go to a mountain to worship--you can worship God wherever you are--because where you are is where He is!

 

Take a moment right now and close your eyes.  Block out every thought except for thoughts of God's love for you.  Feel his love for you.  Allow Him to completely fill you with His love. Just rest in the warmth of His love.  Spend some time this morning surrounded by God's love.  You just might find yourself worshipping...
