Everyone Worships Differently

So I came to my hometown for Easter to visit my family (South suburbs of Chicago). I went to church with my family and was pleasantly surprised. The worship at their church is amazing. Everyone is praising the Lord, people are lifting up their hands and shouting to God. It was a welcome surprise that got me thinking: everyone worships the Lord differently. At Brookside Church (my home church) we don't shout and only a few people lift their hands, but guess what, God is being lifted high and worshipped with our songs of praise. At my parents church everyone is shouting and lifting their hands. Whats the difference? Everyone praises and worships God differently. For me personally, I don't shout alot and lift my hands a ton, but I love God and want to praise His Name forever. But for those of you who do, do it to the Lord and make sure He gets the praise. Remember the Scriptures: Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father (Col 3:17). I love this verse because worship isn't just what we do on Sunday mornings but it is our lives. It's not about whether we lift hands high or don't its about walking with Christ and doing everything for His glory, including how we praise His Name. Don't ever forget what Jesus said in Matthew 15:7-9,
You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: `THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.' God wants our hearts not just our outward actions. So when you praise and worship God, in whatever way you do, do it to the Lord.
