God Wants Me to Be Faithful

Worshipping the Lord
Genesis 8:20-22

Read the Bible through:
AM -
Job 4-7 : PM - Acts 11

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar
(Gen. 8:20).

God gave Noah more instructions as he left the ark. But without instruction, Noah built an altar and worshiped God. In response to Noah's praise, God promised to never flood the earth again.

In our fast-paced living, worship often becomes routine and thoughtless. We often fail to follow Noah's example. As we worship, our minds fast-forward to our next activity -- What's for Lunch? What time does the baseball game start?

We have things to do just like Noah, but Noah stopped everything to worship God for all He had done. To worship God was a natural act for Noah.

How can our worship today be fresh and natural like Noah's? We can begin by living our lives in obedience to God's expectations. The outpouring of our love and adoration frees us wherever we are to worship God.

Lord, may my worship be a natural response to who You are.
