10,000 Reasons // Part 2
Why do we worship?
(Psalm 144:1) Blessed be the Lord, my rock who trains my
hands for battle and my fingers for warfare.
- “Blessed be the Lord, my ROCK”- this a Hebraic word for expressing strength.
- Worship is merely an individual expression to the creator, of our thanksgiving and praise
- Thanksgiving expresses gratefulness.
- Praise gives credit where credit is due.
Why do we worship?
(Exodus 17:8-16) Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. So
Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with
Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in
my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while
Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held
up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek
prevailed. But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it
under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on
one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the
going down of the sun. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people
with the sword. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a
book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory
of Amalek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and called the name
of it, The Lord Is My Banner, saying, “A hand upon the throne of the Lord! The
Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
- When we praise we prevail! (Exodus 17:11)
