Worshiping and Glorifying God - Part 3: Ways to Worship


Ways to Worship

We have seen that being thankful in all things and all circumstances is a way of worshiping and glorifying God; and is much more beneficial for our growth as a child of God than prayer alone. We saw from an excerpt from Christy Bower’s Book and experience, how taking deliberate steps to cultivating a habit of becoming thankful to God not only healed him of his chronic depression, but also changed his attitude towards God and experiencing the fullness of God’s love like never before. Continuing to look into worshiping and glorifying God – besides being thankful to Him in and for everything, how else can we do so?

One of the initial teachings of the Lord Jesus to His disciples, as recorded in the Sermon on the Mount, is: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). This provides us another way to worship and glorify God – through our works. When we let our lives be a living witness for God, when through our deeds, attitude and behavior the people of the world are moved to glorify God; we worship God. Through the Apostle Peter, the Holy Spirit records another aspect to this worship: “having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation” (1 Peter 2:12); i.e. irrespective of the attitude and response from the people of the world, we have to maintain an honorable conduct, our good works and because of this our continual living witness despite adverse circumstances, those who are critical and deprecating of us now will eventually glorify God.


We worship God and make even others glorify Him by letting the light of our Christian Faith shine before the world instead of hiding or suppressing it; by demonstrating our Faith through works that bring glory to God.
