This week, we learned about what it means to worship biblically. We looked at the Hebrew origins of many of the expressions of praise and worship in the Psalms. These words are vibrant and packed with meaning, but are often translated into broader English words like worship, bless or rejoice. Jon read through a number of these words with us, and we spent some time expressing them together. This was was not just a time of teaching, but a time of activation. Many people only truly express themselves at a concert or sporting event. But, when we choose to bring that same level of passion to our worship, it is powerful, and it has a powerful effect in both the natural and spiritual realm. Jon challenged us to build a daily habit of expressive worship into our personal lives. When we do this, we draw near to God in  humility. We draw near to God in intimacy and invite His Holy Spirit to reign in our lives. 

I encourage you to start small. Take 2 - 5 minutes a day, and devote yourself to practicing Biblical worship. You will be surprised by the change this makes in your life!
