How do we get ourselves ready to worship? God wants our worship to be authentic, which means that it starts from the inside and comes out with joy. Worship starts with the Holy Spirit, and it is centered on God. It begins in the heart and bursts forth in our actions and in our thoughts. God is seeking worshipers who mean what they say, who are authentic in their praise, and who are sincere in their affection toward Him. This post offers 10 things you can do to help you worship God authentically.
