1[a]Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
2 Do not be quick with your mouth,
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven
and you are on earth,
so let your words be few.
3 A dream comes when there are many cares,
and many words mark the speech of a fool.
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven
and you are on earth,
so let your words be few.
3 A dream comes when there are many cares,
and many words mark the speech of a fool.
4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.5 It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it. 6 Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? 7 Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.
Worship to God is a very serious matter, the presence of God is a sacred and holy place. Your worship to God, and your relationship with God will have a influence on every other area of your life. when you worship wrong or with a insincere heart; or your relationship with God is lacking, the reast of your life will be affected. To guard yourself against lifes' problems, you need to begin by focusing on sincerely worshiping God.
When you worship God, draw near to Him, ready to listen to Him instead of speaking. You should be humbled by God's greatness when you enter his presence, be ready to hear what He has to say through prayer or the teaching of His word. Do not fall into "formal" or "ritualistic" worship. When you worship be mindful of your thoughts and words you are saying, many times when we worship our minds are elsewhere, we are distracted, or we are mindlessly saying words; this is not true worship. Worship to God must have substance, be mindful of your words when you worship God!!
"God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" Jn 4:24
"O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth" Ps. 96:9
