Following Him in Obedience Is Worship

Mary and Mary had just gone out to see the tomb and saw the angle, then..."8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, 'Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.'”

The ladies saw Jesus and bowed at His feet, and then, also as an act of worship, followed as Jesus commanded. Now the ladies have brought the message to the other disciples and all of them are on their way to Galilee.

"16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted."

I believe that as Christ followers we are called to listen and obey as Christ leads. This is another way that we are called to worship Him.

Christ is teaching me to, even though sometimes it might not make a whole lot of sense, follow Him and His almighty plan for my life. I hope and pray that as I read and study His Word, His plan will start to unfold more and more in my life. I ask for His grace to see where He is leading and to follow.

Christ, In you I find my strength to walk through life's struggles. Only in you Lord to I know which path to take. Lord, guide my words and guide my feet. Lord 'Let everything I say and do be founded by my faith in You, I'll lift holy hands and and sing, let the praises ring'. You are my everything!!
-Amen

  1. Obedience = worship. So true, Haily! So many times we're tempted to think of worship as a song we sing or something we do at the beginning of church - instead of something we do everyday with our life as we live in obedience to Him. Thanks for the powerful reminder!

  2. Yes, great observation. Worship is also thanksgiving... for each moment of the day in which I draw breath.
