KINGDOM PATRIARCHS DAY THIRTY FIVE: Scripture Reading: Genesis 24:25-38 Focus Verse: Genesis 24:26 The Importance of Worship We often find people worshipping the Lord after some great blessing or accomplishment. We sometimes find people worshipping the Lord even before setting out on some mission for Him. In our focus verse today, we find the Father’s servant worshipping the Lord in the middle of his performing of the task to which he has been assigned. This is the sixth occurrence in the Bible of this Hebrew word that is translated “worship.” Four of those six times, it is translated “bowed” or “bowed down” in both the KJV and the NIV. This is the second time that the word is translated “worship.” And, just like the first time that it is translated “worship” (22:5), it is once again associated with sacrifice and supernatural provision. Look back at verse 15 and you will see that it was before this man was “done speaking” to God (KJV) or before he “finished praying” (NIV) that Rebekah arrived on the scene and met every stipulation of his prayer. You might call what this servant did as “worship in advance!” It seems that he became so excited about what God was doing that he had to stop and worship the Lord at that very moment. Prayer Emphasis: •Practice worshipping God before you set out to fulfill His great commission and after you have opportunities to serve Him in any way. Include some time for worship during your time of service and you will be worshipping God, in advance, for the mighty things that He is going to do for you.
