7 Reasons Why We Worship God

Today's blog may be of use for yourself or for you to present to your worship team/choir.  Since the essence of music ministry is offering praise and worship to God, it reasons we should spend a lot of time talking about it.

We live in a day and age when our time and money are spent on places, things, and entertainment.  Things that take up our time, many of which are necessary.  I can relate to the necessary duties: raising three boys certainly seems to vanquish almost every spare moment of my daily life outside of church, work, and sleep.   :0)    But regarding the non-important things we find ourselves caught up in, me must be careful not to let these things take the place of my energy and time we give to God.  Having said that, here are seven reasons why we worship God:

1.  He is my creator: Genesis 1:27  "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

2.  He is my protector: Jude 24  "Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling, and present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy."

3.  He is my redeemer: Romans 3:24  "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."

4.  He is merciful: Lamentations 3:22-23  "It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is they faithfulness."

5.  He is my healer:  Psalm 127:3  "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds."

6.  He is slow to anger: Nehemiah 9:17  "...but thou are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness."

7.  He bestows blessing on us: Matthew 6:26-34  "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all of these things shall be added unto you."
