Worship is a joyful response to God’s greatness, drawing us into His presence. Psalm 100:1–2 calls us to worship with gladness, while Zephaniah 3:17 reveals God’s delight in us, singing over His people. Hebrews 12:28 urges thankful worship, and Revelation 19:7 celebrates giving God glory. Advent invites us to express joy through worship, lifting our hearts in gratitude and awe. This act not only honors God but also fills us with joy, connecting us to His eternal love and majesty.

• Application:
  • Reflect on how worship brings you joy.
  • Today, dedicate time to worship God through song or prayer, using Psalm 95:1–2. Journal about how worship lifts your spirit.
  • Share this joy by inviting someone to worship with you, perhaps at church or in a prayer group.
  • Take one action, like writing a psalm of praise, to express gratitude, letting your worship reflect God’s glory to others and deepen your connection to Him.
• Prayer:

Lord, let my worship be filled with joy as I praise Your holy name. In Jesus' name. Amen.
