At the Navarre BeachSide Church, we put
alot of emphasis on the praise and worship of our Lord. God says in Psalm
22:3 that He inhabits our praise. At some point in the service, you can
feel the cloud of His glory descend upon us all: "It came even to pass,
as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard
in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with
the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD,
saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house
was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; So that the priests
could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the
LORD had filled the house of God." -- 2 Chronicles 5:13-14
It is at this time that we move from praise
to worship. "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh
such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship
him in spirit and in truth." -- John 4:23-24. We PRAISE Him for all
He has done. We WORSHIP Him for who He is. |
