Imagine Jesus sitting at your kitchen table telling you about authentic worship of our Living God! Read slowly, let the words soak in as you listen to His teaching about worship of Our Creator and Our Father in Heaven…you will be blessed!

DON’T WORSHIP OUR STUFF!
“Don’t hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust or–worse!–stolen by burglars. Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it’s safe from moth and rust and burglars. It’s obvious, isn’t it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.” –Jesus, Matthew 6, Msg

TRUE WORSHIP BRINGS HIS LIGHT TO OUR EYES!
“Your eyes are windows into your body. If yo open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up wit light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar. If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have!

WE WORSHIP THE ONLY ONE!
“You can’t worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you’ll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can’t worship God and Money both.” –Jesus, Matthew 6, Msg

LIVE WORSHIP, CARELESS IN THE CARE OF GOD!
“If you decide for god, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.” –Jesus

DRESS FOR WORSHIP!
“Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion–do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.” -Jesus

I imagine walking with Jesus, into those fields on the mountain side as He walks and talks with me…how about you?

WORSHIP THE GOD WHO CARES AND WANTS HIS BEST FOR US!
“If God gives such attention to the appearance of the wildflowers–most of which are never even seen–don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you?”

“What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with GETTING, so you can respond to God’s GIVING.”

“People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns met.”

This is still Jesus talking straight into the heart of men and women…into you, into me.

FOCUSED WORSHIP, 24/7
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” –Jesus, Matthew 6

Dear Heavenly Father, We may have to read this EVERY DAY until this way of thinking and behaving becomes habitual. We love you with all our heart, mind and soul. We worship You, alone. All our trust is in You. I care less for what the world cares about and more what You think about me. Thank you for your word that speaks challenge, comfort, encouragement, care and absolute, unconditional love for us. I love you back! In Jesus Name, Amen!
