Why do we worship?
Why did David worship in the streets in 2 Samuel 6:14-16?
Why did Moses worship after crossing the Red Sea?
These are all times where God was so good, and where God showed love to His people. They were responding to who God is, and they were responding to what God had done.
What about those times when everything seems to be going wrong?
Why do we worship during hardship?
Did Job worship during his hardships?
YES!
Job was in agony and had lost everything, but still he worshiped and said that he knew his Redeemer lived. He said that we knew he would see God for himself. Job had no reason to worship God other than the fact that he knew that God was still good.
In Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went through trials, but they worshiped God nonetheless. It does not matter what we are going through. God is always good, and He deserves all of our praises. He will deliver us from whatever trials we may be going through if we are faithful to Him.
So, why do we worship?
Because God is good all of the time, and everything happens for His glory. He deserves all of our praise.
I worship to thank God for all that he has provided for me. To thank him for never turning his back on me. That even in the quiet times, he is still moving and his plans are in motion and they are nothing but good. Satan hates it when we sing and praise God. He wants to see us defeated and miserable. When we worship, we not only show our love towards God, but show satan that he has no control over us and that HE will be defeated.
