Where Do You Worship?

I am going to revisit yesterday's theme and take it a step further. We are to remember what God has done for us because that is our testimony, however God does not intend for us to live there and never experience anything else in Him. Today I want to look at John 4:19-24. The Bible gives account here of an interaction between Jesus and an unamed woman from Samaria. In these verses The woman ask's Jesus where is the correct location of worship. The Jews claimed that the proper place was in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount and the Samaritans claimed it to be a mountain in Samaria. Jesus responds by saying, "true worshippers worship in Spirit and Truth." In other words it doesn't matter. Some of us say that we can only worship in certain environments or in certain situations. We can only worship at certain times and locations. This is false worship. The reason I say that is because the reason behind our worship is wrong. With that attitude we are making it about us and not about God!! True worship is not dependant upon a certain location, time, environment, etc. It is in Spirit and Truth. It is all about God and God is everywhere at all times. Worship is not about a particular time of the week. Worship is a lifestyle. Worship is everything that I am supposed to do. Do not get stuck upon a traditional mountain today. Worship to God is meant to be FREE. It is to be spontaneous and powerful. Do not allow it to be in a box. The Jews and Samaritans would not worship anywhere but in their traditional places and it caused them to miss a move of God. The same is true for us today. When we limit our opportunities to worship WE miss out. Don't get stuck on the mountain of music, the mountain of preaching, or the mountain of attire. Come down from those places and worship God in Spirit and Truth. God bless
