Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others,for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Hebrews 13:15-16
Worship is….
How would you complete the sentence above?
Worship is the “fruit of our lips”. An orange tree produces oranges. A tomato plant bears tomatoes. A Christian should produce worship with our lips, but it is more than the songs we sing. The fruit of our lips should be evident in our daily conversation. Do my words bring honor to God?
Worship is “doing good”. What does doing good look like? Do we really need a definition for this one? We know when we are honoring others by doing good. The key is to consider our actions as literal worship before Almighty God.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6: 9-10
Finally, according to the writer of Hebrews –
Worship is giving. Followers of Christ are generous. Period. And when we share it is a “sacrifice pleasing to God”.
Today, take a moment to consider the words you will say, the good you have the opportunity to do, and the generosity you can practice on this day.
