Mid-Week Review: Worship from the Heart

Worship is more than a Sunday routine; it’s a way to show God honor and respect. In Malachi 1, the Israelites had lost sight of this. Instead of giving God their best, they offered worthless sacrifices—blind lambs, moldy bread—things they wouldn’t even give a governor!
God called them out, not because He needed their sacrifices, but because their worship had become empty. They went through the motions without true love or reverence.
Have you ever found yourself in a spiritual rut? Maybe you go to church, sing the songs, and listen to the sermon, but your heart isn’t in it. Worship is not about checking a box; it’s about giving God your best—your attention, gratitude, and devotion.
The Psalms remind us:
"Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised" (Psalm 96:3-4).
Worship should be intentional. It’s lifting up God so others see His goodness. It’s thanking Him for salvation, His blessings, and His love.
Here’s how you can cultivate true worship:

• Pray for your church services—for the music, the sermon, and for God to teach you something new.
• Pray for your church family—that God would bless, guide, and strengthen them.
• Remember why you’re there—not out of duty, but to glorify God.

Worship isn’t just what we do in church; it’s a lifestyle of honoring God with our whole hearts. Don’t settle for routine—offer God the best of your time, attention, and praise.
