...Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:21-24 Worship is like a mirror—it reflects your relationship with God. It doesn’t matter whether you worship in public or in private...how you worship is a crystal clear thermometer that accurately reflects the depth and passion of your relationship with your heavenly Father. And when you have an open, honest heart, you know you can approach the throne of God with boldness and total freedom. David mastered the art of utter honesty and truthful communication with God. If you read the book of Psalms, you find every emotion from anger and confusion to trust and love, sometimes only a sentence apart and all expressed directly to God. David also worshipped God with that same kind of total abandonment and honesty. He held nothing back. And the Bible describes him to be “a man after God’s heart.” David was a man who worshipped in truth!! Lord, I want to worship You in honesty and truth. I bring to You every part of my life..even the ugly parts, and lay them at Your feet. I submit my joys, successes, frustrations and failures to You. Lord, shape my life, so I trust in You and leave my life open before You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
