Experiencing God
Day 2: Worship God
Day 2: Worship God
To worship is to reverence and honor God, to acknowledge Him as worthy of your praise.
Yesterday you learned that you come to know God by experience at His initiative. You learned that a Hebrew name described a person’s character or nature. The name was closely associated with the person and his presence. Thus, to call on someone’s name was to seek his presence. God’s name is majestic and worthy of our praise. David wrote about the majesty of God’s name in Psalm 8:1. Acknowledging God’s name amounts to recognizing who God is. Calling on His name indicates that you are seeking His presence. Praising His name is praising Him.
Seeing God’s names in Scripture can call you to worship Him. To worship is to reverence and honor God, to acknowledge Him as worthy of your praise. Spend this day worshiping God through His names. The psalms are rich in their instructions to direct your worship toward God through His names.
Read the following Scriptures. Highlight words or phrases that describe ways you can direct your worship toward God through His names. I’ve underlined one for you.
Use these ways to worship God. Find “Names, Titles, and Descriptions of God.” Spend the remainder of your study time today in worship. The names direct your attention to Him, who He is, and what He does. Praise Him for who He is. Thank Him for what He has done. Glorify Him. Love and adore Him. Seek Him. Trust Him. Sing to Him. Take as much time as you like for this period of worship. Make this a meaningful time to experience your love relationship with the Lord.
