Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.Psalm 100:1-5
Worship is a word that we use so frequently that we might be tempted to grow cold to it’s meaning. What do we do when we worship?
The word worship comes from an old English word weorthscipe which meant to shape the worth of something. It has to do with declaring the worth or worthiness of something, or paying respect and reverence. So, when we worship God, we declare God’s worthiness, and we pay him respect for who he is.
