As I have been studying Biblical Counselling in my school I have been impacted by a few things.
One challenge that my teacher presented to us was this: What is it that I worship? We are all worshipers, whether it is money, sports, possessions, or just ourselves, we all worship something. How do you know what you worship? Think about this: What do you talk about most? Whatever you talk about most is what you worship. As Christians the Lord has commanded us to worship Him alone, above all other gods! (Deut. 6:13; Matt. 4:10)
Another way we express our worship is looking at what we 'sing our praises' about. What is the song of our hearts? Do we sing about the majesty of God, or the grace He has given to us? Or are we constantly 'singing' about the latest news, what happened to your sports team, or how we can have fun over the weekend? These things in and of themselves are not bad, but compared to our Love for Christ, everything else is to seem as hate! (Luke 14:26-27). Christ wants us to be wholly committed to Him alone! There can be no place for other idols in our heart that demand attention. If you have struggled with serving anything but God, and have struggle with worshipping the things of the world rather than God alone you must repent. I pray that God would create in us clean and pure hearts and that He along would be our song from Age to Age:
