Notes
Notes on WORSHIP
Worship (Psalms 95 – 101)
When you come to worship, you should have a song or a word going on before the service starts. Be ready to give your full effort every single time.
If your worship effort is about you being embarrassed, then it is not about God.
Psalm 100:4 Some people come into church with the wrong attitude. We should come prepared to praise.
Just like athletes practice for game time, you should be considering and worshiping God before the big service. Get ready.
People clap harder for an athlete than some people do in worship of God.
LESSON
AS you look at the wisdom in the word, realize that God is trying to help you.
Psalms 1:1
What happens when you start by listening to things that you shouldn’t.
It can grow into you getting comfortable with the things that reject God.
Delighting in God’s law.
Meditating: thinking over what the word means, rehearsing in your mind.
Example scriptures
Jeremiah 9:23-24 Reflecting on perspective on life and making sure that the things of God are the things that are most important.
2 Corinthians 5:10-16 Driven to persuade men to serve the Lord, knowing that most men will not get saved.
Everything or any mode is trying to get folks saved.
Some scriptures speak to what is going on with you at that time, maybe fasting. Some scriptures tend to be “go-to” scriptures that help you check your mindset, your heart, your purpose.
Psalms 1:1 It is important to meditate on the word. Then you have a repertoire of tools to deal with life and to fight.
Proverbs 19:27 Be careful of what you listen to. If you know something is crazy, choose not to deal with it.
It is also true that if you choose not to hear the instruction or law of God, then your prayers make God sick. He knows if you are asking Him for things while also rejecting His word.
1 Timothy 6:5 You are responsible to withdraw yourself from teaching that you know is false. It’s amazing that false teaching about gain being godliness actually draws numbers in the thousands.
Be real with Him.
