I did this a few years ago and posted my notes, thoughts, and worship songs each day for 30 days.
I thought I would do it again for the month of June.
For me, two words come to help me understand what worship really means.
One is a New Testament Greek word and the other is an Old Testament Hebrew word.
The Greek word is 'proskuneo' (pros-koo-neh'-o) and means to kneel, to bless, to kiss the hand in token of reverence.
Proskuneo is used in the description of throne-room worship in Revelation 7:11 (NASB) where the angels and all those around the throne fell and worshiped God.
The Hebrew word is 'bârak' (baw-rak') and means kneeling and blessing.
Bârak is the word used in the Aaronic blessing that God instructed Aaron and the priests to pray over the people every day (Numbers 6:23-27 NASB). A Jewish understanding of this passage explained to me is that in this context, God is kneeling before us and blessing us in the way that a parent kneels and kisses a child.
Doesn't this begin to deepen your understanding of 'real worship'?
It is more than just a Sunday morning meeting.
Throughout this month, I plan to explore different aspects of worship: personal worship, corporate worship, and even secular worship.
To begin, I'd like to offer a worship song that speaks to worship as 'being still and knowing God is God'.
Here's my worship song for today - Jeremy Riddle's 'Know (Be Still)'.
