Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?
Talking about a true spirit of worship verses contrived worship stemming from religion and our self-will. What does God desire?
Contemplating the oneness of Truth while guided by the Voice of Truth produces the evolution or maturation of the soul, spirit and mind, so reality can begin to reflect Truth's immutable, divine attributes, which manifest the highest good for all. This blog reflects an ever-deepening understanding of the Truth a soul gains as its mind is renewed by Truth's pure Light.
Very good words. True worship is Romans 12:1-2, giving your body as a living sacrifice and not being conformed to the world but being transformed by the renewing of your mind. It’s also James 1:27, in which we are to keep ourselves unstained by the world and to care for widows and orphans (the helpless and destitute) in their distress. Thank you for sharing!
Hi – thanks for adding those verses. It is about a complete renewal of your mind to gaining the mind of Christ, which desires nothing of this corrupted world. Thus, as you draw near to God, you draw away from the ways, wisdom, and thoughts of the world.
yes, Philippians 3:7 talked about that, i never really go it, but when i eventually did, it was like a revelation n now i see some the things that used to drive me as petty now and Paul said he was able to let go of these things for the knowledge of GOD. all i can pray for is that i know more of him that gives me the conviction to drop more of this world chasing after His
Loved this Rachel! So many Christians try to bring God a song rather than a life lived under the blood! How often have I tried to substitute the former for the latter! Holy Spirit bring us into the deep!
Hi Jelillie – many try to sedate that need in their soul for true worship with moving, emotional songs. Music is beautiful and powerful … but it is to be an expression of a transformed mind and soul.

Hi, that indeed was good. A life lived for the glory of God is of far more value than a song.

Hi David, it is about the state of our deepest self for from this all things flow.

Right, and the state of our deepest self is Christ, because we are hidden in Him and He lives in us. Thanks Rachel!
