Session 34

Worship is more than singing on Sunday

From Exodus: A 34-Day Devotional

Have you ever wished you were better at something? Have you been confused about why you were made the way you are or why you have the talents you have? Understanding our uniqueness is a vital part of learning to worship God well.

Worship isn’t just singing songs and raising our hands every Sunday. Worship is how we live our lives. When we use the gifts and talents God has given us for His glory, that’s worship as well.

In Exodus 28:3, God says, “Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest.” God gave these tailors a natural gift for sewing, and allowed them to grow up in the right place, at the right time, to be in a position to make the first priestly garments.

Like the skilled workers in Exodus, we all have unique abilities. It’s no accident that we’re good at certain things, that we live where we live, and that we have the opportunities we have.

God made us on purpose, for a purpose, and with a purpose. Our given skills and abilities were intentional, and one way we worship God is by using our skills and abilities for His glory.

Reflect:

• What’s one thing you’re good at or that others say you do well?
• How can you use what God has given you to serve Him and others better?
