| Could the "BUT" in the above title simply be that we "do not know how to worship God?" If so, well, stay with me for a minute – – First, let's take a look at YOU in heaven. (Wow! What a great thought). In Revelation:4- John saw 24 elders seated on thrones. They were wearing white robes and crowns of gold. These elders represent a blood–washed, royal priesthood. Only the church (believers) fulfills that description. What were these elders doing? They were worshipping God! Read it with me: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created" ~Revelation 4:11 John saw these elders fall down before the throne of God in worship. In other words, you will worship God in Heaven. How fitting it is that we should worship God while we are yet in this world. Let us look at another verse of help and instruction and then a few practical words: "Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness." ~Psalms 29:2 Now, a few practical words: What is worship? "An extreme devotion or intense love or adoration" (This is a good core definition which expresses our complete attitude toward our wonderful God.) – We worship God the Father. – We worship God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. – God the Holy Spirit. (We are not instructed to worship the Holy Spirit; but, we're told by the Word of God to: Pray in the Spirit and worship God in the Spirit - Rom. 8:26-27; Jude 20; John 4:24.) – David A. Wood
