Worship: The Main Objective
Today's message is from Sam Hinn.
Some people serve God and substitute their service for worship. Worship is relationship and fellowship with God, not mechanics and formulas. We should not be stirred about serving God until we have learned the joy that comes in worshiping God.

The order is as follows: First I worship, then I serve.

In many churches the opposite is true. There is much service and little worship. What happens to those who get caught up in the performance of ministry? Their relationship with God becomes dependent on performance rather than worship.

Worship is not a matter of mechanics. It enables a believer to know God and to fall in love with Him. If worshiping God is not the main objective of the believer, then the outcome of service is formulas and mechanics.
 

TODAY'S PRAYER:
"Lord, set my priorities straight. Forgive me for the times I have stayed busy doing religious things when I should have been sitting at Your feet, listening to Your voice."
