Hello, LookRightTroughMe, I would suggest learning all you can about the Book of Psalms. It is the longest Book of the Bible, and its primary purpose is to teach us to worship God. Psalms have been credited with reflecting every human emotion. For instance, if you are happy and want some words to express your happiness, try Psalm 92 or Psalm 66. If you feel forsaken, try Psalm 88. If you are grateful and you would like to express it, read Psalm 40. This book, therefore, teaches us how to be honest before God. If you have a problem, tell God about it. If you are angry with God, just let Him know. If you are upset about something, tell Him that too. If you are resentful, bring it out. If you are glad, you should express that to Him also. That is what worship is, just the honesty within each believer's heart. As Jesus said to the woman at the well in Samaria, "The true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth." (John 4:23) That is the kind of worshiper that God is looking for. And as you worship Him in Spirit and truth, you will discover a new source of strength. If you are able to be completely honest before God, even when you are troubled by those pesky problems of bad moods and wrong attitudes, you will find His grace is not only abundant, but it is also silently answering all of your needs. May you discover joyful blessings as you worship Him through your studies. keliy |

3 | What is worship supposed to be like? | Ps 43:4 | Searcher56 | 215244 | ||
God's day to you, keliy Did you know the word for worship in John 4 is proskuneo which means to kiss the hand to (towards) one, in token of reverence. It means we need to think of Him as the One who absolute control over us. While not Catholic, I picture kissing the Pope's ring. One doesn't sing, do service or anything else. It would be hard to do anything but worship, since it can detract. In the Hebrew it is shachah ... to bow down. Note 13 times in Revelation worship (proskuneo) of God appears ... yet to we pratice it today, or have our knees grown stiff. Searcher Searcher |

Thank you, Searcher. Your post blessed me, for I had not even thought of looking into the Greek. I did take a beginner's course in Koine Gk last year, but I had a long day today. (I am without excuse for my slackness, -even though I enjoy the challenging aspect of my job, I worked outside on a chilly Wisconsin day today, the first day back on the job after a four month layoff. And this, after breaking two ribs and a fractured (T11) vertabrae only 1 month ago. 3-13-09) So you see, your post was welcome, as I am filling up a list of blessings for just today, and I have a lot to be in worship for. For if Christ had not risen, I would be unable to partake in this "resurrection living" that keeps me running the race with tenacity and endurance.. As you picture someone kissing the pope's ring, I pictured my own 6 mo. old puppy who can hardly stop licking my hand. So, I turned to Vine's Dictionary for the following, additional information: Greek: proskuneo -Verb -Strong's Number: 4352 Worship (Verb and Noun), Worshiping: "to make obeisance, do reverence to" (from pros, "towards," and kuneo, "to kiss"), is the most frequent word rendered "to worship." It is used of an act of homage or reverence (a) to God, e.g., Mat 4:10; Jhn 4:21-24; 1Cr 14:25; Rev 4:10; 5:14; 7:11; 11:16; 19:10 (2nd part); Rev 22:9; (b) to Christ, e.g., Mat 2:2, 8, 11; 8:2; 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 20:20; 28:9, 17; Jhn 9:38; Hbr 1:6, in a quotation from the Sept. of Deu 32:43, referring to Christ's Second Advent; (c) to a man, Mat 18:26; (d) to the Dragon, by men, Rev 13:4; (e) to the Beast, his human instrument, Rev 13:4, 8, 12; 14:9, 11; (f) the image of the Beast, Rev 13:15; 14:11; 16:2; (g) to demons, Rev 9:20; (h) to idols, Act 7:43. Note: As to Mat 18:26, this is mentioned as follows, in the "List of readings and renderings preferred by the American Committee" (see RV Classes of Passages, IV): "At the word 'worship' in Mat 2:2, etc., add the marginal note 'The Greek word denotes an act of reverence, whether paid to man (see Mat 18:26) or to God (see Mat 4:10)'." The Note to Jhn 9:38 in the American Standard Version in this connection is most unsound; it implies that Christ was a creature. J. N. Darby renders the verb "do homage" [see the Revised Preface to the Second Edition (1871) of his New Translation]. |
