John 4:23 (NKJV)

23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

God is looking for worshipers who are not concerned about what other people think.

God doesn't need our worship. Why then would He seek it? It's for us not Him. The result of our worship is joy.

God created us to worship. We've got to be set free from holding back. Worship means to lay prostate and kiss.

The word picture is of a man petting an obedient dog while the dog licks him.

David was a worshiper. David knew that he could worship himself out of his problems. David was committed to worshiping God at all times.

I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;

The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

Paul was the same way.

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

They knew the secret sauce of having an intimate relationship with God.

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Worship is based upon God's worth not our feelings. We must experience presence filled worship.

8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;

Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

It's not about me. It's about Him.
