Worship

Worship is one of those concepts in Christianity, a hardo ne because it is not exactly defined anywhere.
You can find examples, but if you want to find God saying, "This how I demand worship of me ...."
Too bad, it is not there.

But we know that worship is a matter of what is in your heart.
As Cain discovered with his rejected sacrifice.
As anyone with a problem with another has been told.
As anyone in sin has been told.
Yeah, it is all about our heart.

But, we do have a good example of the worship God desires:

Mark 14:3-9

Worship is a decision
The woman choose to approach Jesus.

Worship is demonstrative
The woman broke her jar of precious perfume.

Worship is bound to offend 
Someone is sure to object to:
The message
The methods used
Personalities involved

Yet we are called to a higher calling than nit-picking His work!
We are to serve God.
To seerve His purposes.
To accomplish His outreach.

Worship is a form of spiritual Warfare
We are told that Satan flees from our our strength gained through:
True worship of God
Our songs of praise
Time spent in the Word
Our charity to others
Our helping others
Serving His purposes

Worship spreads
We are the aroma of God.
From person to person.
We share.
We worship.

Worship is prophetic
Speaks of what is to come.
Calls us to ministry.

Worship lingers
When we experience true worship:
We want more
We want to stay

Worship is unforgettable
This woman's worship of Jesus would be remembered for all time!
