True Worship

Matt. 2:8 “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”

God was not fooled by Herod hypocrisy. Neither is He fooled by our fake worship. Saying we love Him and believe that Jesus is the Son of God, yet our lives don’t reflect His loving spirit. Selfishness still dwells within the heart. We may call ourselves “Christians” but it is only lip service. We may even go to church, the place of worship and sing songs of praise, but our heart is far from living our life in the word of God. Herod never did find Jesus, because he really was not a true seeker after God. To be a worshiper of God, one must be a seeker after Him and desire to live in His presence. Seek Him with all your heart, and you will find Him. When you truly find Him, you will surrender your life in full obedience. He will be Lord of all, and your knees will truly bend in worship.

Follow Your Heart

Matt. 2:2 Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Within the heart of every person is a desire to find God. To find meaning and purpose in life.We all seek for something that is higher than us. The Magi from the east came looking for a king. These were men who sought to know the truth and went a far off to find it. There only purpose was to worship this king that was revealed to them by God. They were not raised with the knowledge of the Torah. Divinity awoke a desire in their heart to seek and find this king. They followed the dictates of their heart and followed the star. God puts in the heart of every man a longing to know God. Through the nature of God’s creation, He has revealed Himself to mankind. God has given the gift of conscience to all born to this world. the measure of light may vary for each, but He is always faithful to speak to all who are willing to listen. Follow your heart, follow the star, and worship Him.

The Treasures of our Heart

Luke 12: 34 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

The passion of the heart can be found in what we treasure the most. To what do we give the most attention? What comes first in life? We live in a culture and society that values material wealth. Nice cars, big houses, fine clothes, expensive jewelry, and possessing things that will soon decay and fade away. The treasures of our heart reveals the depth of our love for God. What we seek first demonstrates what is most important to us. Jesus taught us to first be seekers of God and find our treasures in His will. Knowing God and His love is the greatest treasure one can have. When we come to know Him, He puts in our heart a desire to serve others, revealing His love through us. The things of this world become secondary, they are the things that God will add unto us as we seek Him first. May our treasure always be to know Him and love Him more each day.
