12 Simple Ways to Worship God Everday (Tip 8)

12 Simple Ways to Worship God Everday

8, Intentionally surrender your day to God.

A dear friend taught me this morning prayer…

Lord, I have surrendered this day to You. I will follow where You guide and do Your will as You reveal it to me. Please help me to fulfill this promise that my life might glorify You alone. Amen.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20

���

Surrender:

VERB

1. cease resistance to an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority:

    

   "over 140 rebels surrendered to the authorities"

   synonyms:

   capitulate · give in · give (oneself) up · yield · concede · submit · 

   [more]

The above meaning of course, comes from a dictionary. But what does it mean spiritually for us?

Consider this:

Surrendering to God is a relinquishing of rights and will. It’s yielding your life – thoughts, actions, and spirit to God. It is opening up a tight-closed fist of control and placing trust in God instead of ourselves. The surrender to God meaning is giving up and letting go of the kingdom of this world – which includes the kingdom of self.

I like this definition better. Don't you?

Sometimes it's not easy to do. And it may mean a daily choice to give ourselves to God instead of self.

Galatians 2:20 is a good one to tell God at the start of each day and maybe many times in a day, that indeed we have been crucified with Christ because by faith he lives in us, all because he died for us. 

And because he lives, we can face anything that comes up against us.

Thanks for stopping by Friends. Have a blessed day!

 

 

12 Simple Ways to Worship God Everday (Tip 7)

 

12 Simple Ways to Worship God Everday 

7. Read a Psalm to start the day.

So many of the Psalms are pure worship and they consistently remind me of who God is and all He does. And He’s still doing it all today. Tomorrow looks good too! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living. Psalm 19:7–8

💗💗💗

Indeed. God continues to do good things. Even in our sad times. Even in our bad times. Even right now.

No matter what is going on around us. The news pours out a lot of bad stuff. If things couldn't be any worse, our government continues to battle against themselves. And us. 

And yet, there is One that we can count on in these desperate times.

Psalms 4:8 - I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety

So far as end of times, its like this:

Who

What

When

Where

Why

How

What is going to happen?

When is it going to happen?

Where is going to happen?

Why is it going to happen?

How is going to happen?

We have so many questions. And most of the answers we find in the Bible. Others we just have to trust in God. But in the meantime, it's like we want Jesus to come and get it done, because He is the Who in the questions above. 

And yet, it's not in our timing. It's in God's time. And as David said back in his day, we can dwell in safety and peace, because God's got our backs. This world doesn't. Our government doesn't. And even our families may not.

But thank God. He does.

And we can look to the Psalms for comfort and hope.

Thanks for coming by today, Friends. God bless you because he is good

5. Sing and dance like David.

I love this one … turn up the praise music and dance with joy.

I don’t dance in the car but I do love to sing and it’s hard to be impatient with other drivers when my heart is filled with worship.


Your kids will love it if you sing and dance with them, too!

And David danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a priestly garment. 2 Samuel 6:14

They should praise Him with dancing. They should sing praises to Him with tambourines and harps. Psalm 149:3

💗💗💗

I agree. There is just something about singing to God that brings us closer to him. Or is it him to us? As for dancing? I can't do much of that anymore, but it is still a great way to show our Lord that we love him. Even if it really isn't what it can be called dancing. Just moving and singing his praises is good. And good exercise too, I might add. 

So, if you haven't tried this way of worshipping God before, I encourage you to try it. I know you will be blessed!

Thanks for spending a few minutes with me today.

Have a blessed day!

6. Take a fast from grumbling.

Most of us don’t realize how much we grumble and complain.

So, I’m making it a goal to set aside specific times when I will absolutely refuse to be negative. I will surrender the junk in my life to God, do what I can, and do my best to shine…

 Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Philippians 2:14–15

💓💓💓

Have you ever known anyone that just constantly grumbles about everything?  I haven't met anyone like that.

Oh, wait. I sometimes am that sort of person. I guess I have plenty to grumble about. We all do. If we have people that just get to us in some way. If we drive an old car that barely wants to creep along. Even with the state of the economy now that prices go up but the money in our wallets disappears.

Yes, we all have things we can grumble about. And yet, while we are doing that, we hide the light of Jesus from those that are watching us to see how we are handling things.

If we can thank God for all he has already done for us and shine for all to see Jesus, that is worship to God. And it is showing others that while we watch prices go up, we can still proclaim the joy we have in the God that provides for us.

Philippians 4:19 - But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

12 Simple Ways to Worship God Every Day

4. Be awe-mazed at who God is and what He does.

I want to watch for miracles. Write down answers to prayer. Notice the variety in creation. Pay attention to the ways God is working around you. And celebrate who He is and all He does.

💕💕💕

There was a time in my life that I did not think that God could love me. I had made too many blunders, sinned to many times. How could God love someone like me.

It took reading the bible consistently and believing what it says that made me realize just how awesome God really is. After that, I began to see his love in much more than myself. I saw it in the very creation around me. Not that we worship his creation. No way. We are to worship only God. But what happened was that I no longer had to worry about his love for me. Because it is everywhere.

And it was at that time, I was also amazed that out of all the world, I was blessed with so many that instead of rejecting God, one day I will spend eternity with him. 

And many others that have not rejected him. Because sadly, there are many that do reject him. But for the grace of God, I could be one of them.

And I am very thankful that I am accounted among those that will go home to be with Him. And that my friends, still it amazes me.

I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. Psalms 145:5

Thanks for coming by friends. Have a blessed evening!

3. Write 7 things you’re thankful for every day.

The number 7 stands for completion throughout the Bible. Writing 7 things I’m thankful for just seems like the perfect way to remember God’s completely perfect provision.

Praise the Lord! Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 106:1

💗💗💗

If ever there is an easy way to worship God, this one is it. It doesn't always mean you have to do it while you are reading your bible and spending time alone with God

We can worship him at any time or place using this method. Whether it be on the run to somewhere, to be washing dishes or while we are spending time with God.

For myself, the following scripture tops my list:

Giving thanks unto the father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear So In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:12-14

Friends, without our delierence from the power of darkness, we would have nothing else to be thankful for. That is just the beginning of being thankful, and everything else is a benefit of the same.

Thanks for coming by today and thank God for the blessings that he has given you through the shed blood of Jesus Christ!

2. Get down on your knees to pray.

There is something about humbly kneeling to pray that changes my attitude from self to submission. That’s worship. I want to be intentional about kneeling for prayer several times a week.

Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, for He is our God. We are the people He watches over, the flock under his care. Psalm 95:6–7

💖💖💖

Many, many years ago the practice of kneeling during prayer was done in a church that I went to. And I think it might have been that way in a lot of churches. We don't often see or hear of this anymore. I think it's one way of saying to God, "I am serious about this" in whatever was being praying about.

I don't know if it is something that is still done anymore.

However, that being said, some of us are oldies now and maybe we can't quite do this as our body's health problems won't let us. I very seldom get down on the floor to do anything because it is so hard to get back up.

Kneeling in prayer is not a command that we must do. But if we can, it is an honor to our Lord. 

And remember this...

There will come a day when this happens:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Philippians 2:10

Friends, if we can't or won't kneel now, we will then. It won't matter who we are, or if we are Christians or not, everyone is going to bow at the name of the Most High God.

Thanks for stopping by, have a blessed day!
