I was thinking about Paul and his letter to Timothy. He was instructing him in 1 Timothy 1:1-11. Then in verses 12-16 he was recounting how the Lord’s grace enabled him to preach the gospel. As he continued, he burst into praise. Verse 17 says, “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”

Our heart is our belief center. God’s word, hidden in our hearts, is the source of our praise. We learn more and more about Him as we read, memorize, and meditate. 2 Peter 1:4 says that through His exceeding great and precious promises, we become “…partakers of the divine nature…”

Worship is a lifestyle ~ not an event. The Psalms are full of verses that will teach our hearts how to honor and magnify the Lord through praise. Psalm 100:4 says, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” The experiential truths that inhabit our hearts, cause us to lift Him up through true worship.
