Worship with understanding.

“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.”              
Acts 17:23(KJV)

In our opening scripture today, Paul was speaking to the men of Athens who were a very religious people. He made them know that even though they were religious, they worshipped ignorantly because they didn't know who they were worshipping.

This means that worship begins with a revelation. For some people, worship is just something they do in church, while for others it is just a religious activity that they observe from time to time. But as we see in our opening scripture, Paul said that these people ignorantly worshipped God because they lacked the revelation of who God is.

When people think of worship most of the time, the only thing that comes to their minds is slow singing, but worship is much more than just singing with your lips, your heart must be fully in your worship which should also be expressed in the outward expression of heartfelt honour towards God in your daily life.

PRAYER
 Dear Father, I ask that you grant unto me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you. Grant unto me insight by your Spirit so that I will be able to offer acceptable worship and service to you with my life always.

DOING THE WORD
Let your daily life be an outward expression of honour and reverence to God.
