We are God’s Creation and we have been created to worship, to praise the Creator and the Bible speaks to us about that in many verses, which we will see today so that we know completely that we should worship God with our lives, that this is a divine mandate.

We must bless our God with our mouth wherever we are gathered:
Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

2 – Praise the name of our God

No matter the social status, your economic position, your age, your sex, praise God:

1 Timothy 2:8
7 – Fear of God
There will be a great day of judgment in which we will have to fear and give glory to the One who did everything

1 Peter 2:9
9 – Let’s praise Him and let’s talk about his wonders
In addition to praising Him and invoking His name, we must count everywhere the great works and wonders He has done with us and with His people.

What were we created for? To adore Him, to bless His Name, to publish everything He has done for us!
This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
Isaiah 43:21
And there are more reasons in the Scriptures to worship and praise our Lord. These are only some verses contemplated in the Bible, but I assure you that there are hundreds of verses that tell us that we must worship the only true God. So, our prayer is that God will distribute peace among us and give us spirit to worship Him in spirit and truth.
