Greatest Worship

Food textures - now, that's a topic! Admittedly, there are certain foods on my no-no list based mostly on how it feels to my palate. For example, I love the crunch of cereal but when it becomes soggy in the milk - my palate says "nope, friend, not today." The psalmist wrote, "Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience], who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments." (Psalm 128:1, AMP). Worship is an appropriate response of those who genuinely fear (respect and honor) The Creator God. Furthermore, a consistently obedient life is evidence of that respect and honor! Did you know that texture is an index of a food's quality? The texture of food can change over time if stored improperly or too long or exposed to outside influences: an apple becomes rubbery, bread becomes hard ... cereal becomes soggy. There is, however, visual evidence in the Believer's life who consistently refuses to "walk in the counsel of the ungodly ... stand in the path of sinners ... sit in the seat of scoffers" but [rather] chooses to "delight in the instruction of the LORD ... meditate on it day and night." (Psalm 1:1-2). Yes, there's an eternal beauty to consistent obedience to God: "He will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season; it's leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does he prospers." (Psalm 1:3). There is spiritual texture - character and quality - to the Believer who make consistent obedience to God a way of life. Let's worship Him with obedience ... our greatest worship.
