Worship the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Psalm 100:2 NIV
Worship is ascribing worth to God. Worship is recognizing who God is and what God can and has done. Worship is giving God the glory of which He is worthy. True worship involves very little of me, and very much of God.
I may not always feel like singing...if I look at my own life. I may not always feel like praising...if I look at my own life. I may not always desire to participate in a worship service...if I look at my own life. All the problems of the world, and of my life, often get in the way of me experiencing true worship...if I look at my own life.
But, you see, worship is not about me. It's not about how I feel or what I feel like doing. Worship is about God. When I take my eyes off myself and my problems, and place them on God, I see His majesty, His glory, and His goodness and worship then becomes a natural response to what I see in Him.
I can worship God with gladness and with joyful songs, because when I concentrate on God, I find Him fully worthy of worship. After all, God is God!
