SELFLESS WORSHIP (a reminder)

The gathering of God's children to worship Him is the duty of all believers, we come together as brethren to glorify God for who He is  and the sacrifice He made for us in His Son  Jesus Christ

Philippians 3:3
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh

Psalm 136:26
 Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever.

Yet because we are in this flesh we could get distracted by self and then  get carried away with activities, ego and physical appearances and begin to worship something else.

That is why Paul by the Spirit  cautioned Timothy

1Timothy 2:8-10
 Therefore I desire that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;
in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,
 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

When we gather it is to fellowship. God is exalted in His Son Jesus the Christ, we cannot afford to be carried away with self nor seeking "my own" but with the same mind seeking "our own"

Philippians 2:1-4
 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,
 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

May our worship today be glorious in the Spirit and may we continue afterwards in selfless love for the brethren.

Go worship selflessly today

Love
