PURPOSE DRIVEN DAY 8: PLANNED FOR GOD'S PLEASURE
Reminder:
-You were planned for God's pleasure.
-You exist for his benefit, his purpose and his delight.
-God wants you to enjoy life, not just endure it.
We bring pleasure to God through the act of worship. As discussed on yesterday worship is more than singing, dancing and prasing in church. IT'S A LIFESTYLE. Everything you do unto God in spirit and truth is an act of worship. Worship is not for our benefit, rather it's a way of glorifying God. Moreover, the act worship benefits God. In Isaiah 29, God complains about worship that is halfhearted and hypocritical. These people were offering God stale prayers, insincere praise, empty words, and man-made rituals without even thinking about the meaning:
These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only rules taught by men. Isaiah 29:13
We are to worship God all throughout the day from sun up to sunset. How? By doing everything throughout the course of your day as if you are doing it for Jesus and conversing with him simulataneously. Approach your daily activities with a "Im doing this for Jesus" mentality...not man. THAT'S MAKING WORSHIP A LIFESTYLE. In the process, naturally you will fall in love with Jesus because He will be at the center of your thoughts and life.
Blessings,
Stephanie
