Worship

Lu 10:38-42
Some people will look like they are working for the Lord - like Martha
But the Lord, Jesus, is looking for people who just want to spend time in His presence: People who are willing to do anything for God, not just offering their best.
Don't be a professional Christian, but a follower of Jesus.
V.42 Mary chose the 1 good thing: worship - more than a song.

1. Worship is waiting upon God.
Mary sat at Jesus' feet.
Isa 40:30-31
To "wait upon the Lord" means lit. to entwine yourself in the presence of God.
Slow down & just wait for Him.
The Holy Spirit cannot be rush.

2. Worship is undistracted focus on God
Jer 30:22

3. Worship is extravagant adoration of God
Worship is proskuneo in Greek: is to prostrate before God: kissing His feet
Lu 7:38

4. Worship is unconditional sacrifice to God
Giving your whole life to God.
We must know God beyond the fact that He's our provider but as the Creator of the universal as well.
