Worship That Pleases God

God wants all of us. All our heart, soul, mind and strength. We please God when our worship is accurate, authentic, thoughtful and practical. We have to make sure our worship is based in the truth of Scripture not our opinions of God. We have to mean what we say and engage our minds. We need to worship God with thanksgiving, praise, humility, repentance, offerings of money, prayer, serving others, and sharing with those in need.

When you praise God even when you don't feel like it, when you get out of bed to worship when you're tired, or when you help others when you are worn out, you are offering a sacrifice of worship to God. That pleases God.

Mark 12:30
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

Heart of Worship by Matt Redman

I'll bring You more than a song,
because the song in itself is not what you have required.
You search much deeper within
than the way things appear.
You're looking into my heart.
