365 Days of Worship – Week 4 – Whole Heart

Does God have your whole heart? Are you distracted by other things that draw you away from time with your heavenly Father? Work and family draw me away. So, how can we worship and be thankful with our whole heart when there are so many distractions? Do you think that watching TV and surfing the web are distractions? Not only can these be distractions, but painful memories and offenses can also prevent us from giving God our whole heart. Let us ask God because this will be different for each of us. Psalm 86:11-12 says, “Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. ¹² I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.” When we learn about God through His Word and His blessings in our lives, we will desire to worship Him.

All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. –Psalm 86:11

In the last post, I explained that worshiping something (sports teams, activities, etc.) or someone (spouse, children, athlete, political or musical figure) involves an investment in time, resources, and energy. We glorify the things that we worship, but we are to only glorify God. In this post, I want to encourage you to ask God to show you if He has your whole heart and how you can give Him your whole heart. Take time each day to draw close and worship God with your whole heart.
