Meditation in  WORSHIP

God is able to speak to us through those words that we read and reread, as we think about what we have read and ponder those words infiltrate our minds and change us. They give us a better understanding of what God is saying in His word. Through that better understanding we begin to think differently, and our attitudes and lives change. Even our actions toward ourselves, others and the world change to be more Christlike.

And isn't that what Christians desire? To be Christ like. To be Christ followers. To know God.

With these precepts or tenets in place, let us begin with WORSHIP.

• Begin with asking God to open your heart to what He has for you to hear today.
• Read a passage of the Scripture
• Is a miracle in the passage? Is a relationship deepened in some way? Has God stepped in and shown His power,
• Has he shown His discipline or even His protection or His end goal?
• Has Jesus, lived life, shown love, or taught?
• Whatever the passage holds that brings you an awareness of who He is, praise Him for that revelation.
• Give Him glory and honor and praise. Thank Him for what He has given.
• Think on these things. Ponder them. Reread the passage. Write about what you read. Pray! This is Worship!
• Thank God for His presence this moment.

1. And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God's messenger and High Priest.
2. For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God's entire house.

3. But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself.
4. For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.

5. Moses was certainly faithful in God's house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later.
6. But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God's entire house. And we are God's house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.

7. That is why the Holy Spirit says, "Today when you hear his voice,
8. don't harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, when they tested me in the wilderness.
9. There your ancestors tested and tried my patience, even thought they saw my miracles for forty years.
10. So I was angry with them, and I said, 'Their hearts always turn away from me. They refuse to do what I tell them.'
11. So in my anger I took an oath: 'They will never enter my place of rest.' "

12. Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.
13. You must warn each other every day, while it is still "today," so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.
14. For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.
15. Remember what it says: "Today when you hear his voice, don't harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled."

16. And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn't it the people Moses led out of Egypt?
17. And who made God angry for forty years? Wasn't it the people who sinned, whose corpses lay in the wilderness?
18. And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn't it the people who disobeyed him?
19. So we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest.
Hebrews 3:1-19 NLT
