Jesus said, “Our Father desires worshippers who worship in
spirit and truth.”
That is what we are called to be, as Christians:
people who offer spiritual sacrifices in practical, physical ways.
That is why Paul tells us to give thanks in every circumstance, to
choose to rejoice always, to pray as often as we breathe. But these
things only happen in a true worshipper’s heart. And true worship
happens when we, like Isaiah, see our Father, seated on the throne as
King of the universe. Sometimes our worship seems small or futile,
and sometimes foolish. True, the music and paintings and dances of
our worship will pass away, as will people’s fame and possessions and
opinions, and every created thing. But should a singer stop singing
because the song will someday be silenced? No, we continue to sing in
faith. Why? Because our Father desires us to do so. Let us become
worshippers in spirit and truth!
