Among the Worshipers

Psalm 100:4-5 | Matt. 2:1-12

Worship is powerful. Everyone worships something and what we worship changes us. Moses, for example, worshiped in the presence of God and his countenance was altered for everyone to see. Worship also affects those around us. Elijah’s prayer of petition and worship to the true God, changed the people present on Mt. Carmel that day. Paul and Silas worshipped in prison amidst a painful and desperate situation. Their worship changed not only the life of the jailor, but those of his entire family. 

Through our daily choices and our allegiances, we all worship something. In the Christmas story, the Wisemen came to worship the Saviour of the world while Herod chose to worship himself and his power. What are you worshiping? How is your worship affecting you and those around you?
