Worship is our inner connection with Jesus. It is giving Him the honor and value He deserves. Worship is not a ritual or a series of actions. Think of it as the sacred space where we meet with Jesus, rest in His presence, and accept His open invitation to partner with Him in His transformative Kingdom work. “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful. By it, we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, 29for our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:28-29 When we center our focus on Jesus, we are declaring His supreme position over us and expressing gratitude for what He has done for us. Jesus has assured us that He will dwell in our lives and circumstances, and His presence will bring limitless possibilities that cause us to realize, He is worth it all!
