Made for Worship

We were created to worship God.

Our purpose is to glorify our Creator. However, we do not fulfill our purpose. This is the essense of sin - not being who God has commanded us to be (ie. worshippers of our Creator). In its essense, sin is not doing something, but rather not doing something, that something being truly worshipping and glorifying the God of the universe.

Think about why God created you. He made you for a specific purpose. Because He has created us for a specific purpose, we will only be completely fulfilled and satisfied when we are doing what we were created to do. To echo the words of John Piper in reverse, "We are most satisfied in God, when He is most glorified in us."

The glory of God is our goal and our purpose. Pray that God will keep you focused on that end and that end alone.

Made to Worship

Before the day
Before the light
Before the world revolved around the sun
God on high
Stepped down into time
And wrote the story of His love for everyone

All we are
And all we have
Is all a gift from God that we receive
Brought to life
We open up our eyes
To see the majesty and glory of the King

He has filled our hearts with wonder
So that we always remember

You and I were made to worship
You and I are called to love
You and I are forgiven and free
You and I embrace surrender
You and I choose to believe
You and I will see who we were meant to be

And even the rocks cry out
And even the Heavens shout
At the sound of His holy name
So let every voice sing out
And let every knee bow down
He is worthy of all our praise

You and I were made to worship
You and I are called to love
You and I are forgiven and free, yeah
You and I embrace surrender
You and I choose to believe
You and I will see who we were meant to be
