worship.

"He moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with the Bethel on the west and Ai on the east, there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD"
- Genesis 12:8

Worship is giving God the best that He gas given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love-gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship.

Bethel is the symbol of fellowship with God; Ai is the symbol of the world. Abram "pitched his tent" between two. The lasting value of our public service for God is measured by the depth of the intimacy of our private times of fellowship and oneness with Him. Rushing in and out of worship is wrong every time - there is always plenty of time to worship God.

There are 3 levels of spiritual life - worship, waiting and work. Yet some of us seem to jump like spiritual frogs from worship to waiting, and from waiting to work. God's idea is that the three should go together as one. They were always together in the life of our Lord and in perfect harmony. It is a discipline to be developed; it will not happen overnight.

for me, worship is just a deliberate continuous action to express my overflow of gratitude and joy to my Dad that pulled me out from the pits despite so much disobedience and hypocrisy in the past. He forgave and received me in open arms. Thank You, Dad. Hallelujah!
