Attributing Worth to God

 

“…that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…”

—Philippians 2:10a

Worship plays a very important role in the life of a believer. That’s why we gather with other believers and sing songs of praise, confess our sins, hear the words assuring us that our sins are covered by the precious blood of Jesus, read God’s Word, listen to a proclamation of God’s truth, and return to God a portion of what He has so graciously given us.

Whether you worship with a praise band and contemporary music or with a liturgical service and traditional music like I do, worship gives us the opportunity to acknowledge the transformation that God has brought into our lives.

The word “worship” is defined as “attributing worth to the thing or person or deity who matters the most to you.” Therefore, when we worship God, we tell Him and show Him how much we value Him, how very much He means to us.

Speaking of Jesus, our Savior and Lord, the Apostle Paul explained to the “Christ-ones” or Christians at Philippi why Jesus deserves our worship, as recorded in Philippians 2:9-11:

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Let us this day worship God and exalt the Name that is above all names, the name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord.
