“Gratitude in Worship”

All of us at one point or another have had our reflexes checked by our doctor.  Reflexes that work correctly always respond the strike of a doctor’s instrument.  Likewise, the reflex of a grateful heart for God is worship of God.  When we have a healthy awareness of God’s goodness on display in the world around us, our lives will be marked by a compulsion to worship Him.  A proper understanding of worship requires this idea of compulsion.  A grateful follower of Christ can not simply not worship, for they are compelled to do so.
