Worship - an act of intimacy

I have always pondered about the deep meaning of worship. We all know that we are created to worship the Lord. Yet deep down inside my heart there have been questions about worship. Why does God require His creation to worship Him?

We know that God alone is worthy of all worship, glory, honor and praise. We also know that God is delighted when His children worship Him. And the angels and heavenly hosts worship the Lord continually day and night.

I have realized that when we worship God we get the privilege of entering His holy presence. In other words, the God of all glory comes down to meet His children when we worship Him. Worship creates an atmosphere where we get to know God more deeply, more intimately and enjoy His divine presence. We often forget that God who is so passionate about us gives Himself to us when we worship Him and draws us close to Him...

Psalm 48:9 (New Living Translation)

O God, we meditate on your unfailing love
as we worship in your Temple.
