Worship: Keeping the Glory Where It Belongs
Intro
Every man gives glory somewhere—career, family, success, self. True worship redirects glory to God alone. Worship isn’t just a Sunday event; it’s the daily posture of the heart.
This post is part of a leadership series inspired by Donald Whitney’s Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. Whitney unpacks timeless practices that train believers for godliness. Just as athletes train daily, men must practice these disciplines to grow in Christlikeness and lead with integrity.
Chapter 3 Overview
Whitney explains that worship is both private and corporate. Private worship fuels your personal walk; corporate worship strengthens the body of Christ. Worship is not about preference but about ascribing glory, honor, and obedience to God. Without worship, the Christian life becomes self-centered and shallow.
Leadership Application – Keeping the Glory Where It Belongs
A man who forgets to worship will live for his own praise. Worship keeps you humble, dependent, and focused on Christ. Leaders who worship rightly lead others toward God, not themselves.
Practical Step
Prepare for Sunday worship before you walk in the door. Read the sermon text, pray through a psalm, and ask God to fix your heart on Him.
Call to Action
Don’t chase your own glory. Give God His. Make worship your first response and your lasting legacy.
