We are created in the image and likeness of a Holy God. This means we are intrinsically designed for worship. In the beginning, the bible tells us that Adam and Eve walked with God—that His glory shrouded them. He knew their thoughts and they knew His heart. He talked to Him, could look at Him and could touch Him if they so chose. The first spirit-filled man and women enjoyed abundant provision, joy, and glory. Eden was perfect setting for worship and adoration; and absolutely exists today—in our soul.
The soul is comprised of the mind, will and emotions. It is the epicenter of thoughts and feelings. It is the place where we can commune with a Holy God, journey with Him and allow His provision and joy to overtake us. In that place—that Eden-esque place—we can kneel closer to throne established in our hearts. We can bow lower in reverence of heaven’s power and grace. We are God’s handiwork and we are created to worship Him in spirit and in truth just like the angels.
Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels around the throne, and the four living creatures, and the elders. There were thousands and thousands of angels,12 saying in a loud voice: “The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and strength, honor, glory, and praise!" 13 Then I heard all creatures in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea saying: "To the One who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever." 14 The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders bowed down and worshiped.
The bible says that everything that has breath will praise the Lord. It says that every knee bows in reverence and every tongue confesses that Christ is indeed the Lamb of God. Worship isn’t something that we do; it’s who we are. To worship the Father is the heart cry of each of us.
