Whether you’re a worship leader looking for some inspiration, a Bible study leader doing some research, or a pastor working on a sermon series on worship, we’ve got you covered!
Here are 20 verses to help you wrap your mind around how the Bible describes worship.
Worship in the Pentateuch
1. Worship linked to daily obedience (Ex. 23:25–26)
“You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you. None shall miscarry or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.”
In the 20th chapter of Exodus, God spells out the ten commandments. For the next three chapters, Moses describes in detail the behavior that God expects from the nation of Israel. This includes instruction about things like:
How altars are to be constructed and treated
How servants are to be treated
How personal injuries are to be addressed
How to protect personal property
How to treat your neighbors
How the Sabbath law is to be applied and obeyed
How God is to be celebrated
In context, Moses ties worship to daily obedience—and links the quality (and quantity) of life to God’s response.
Worship in the histories
2. Hannah’s worshipful prayer (1 Samuel 2:2)
“There is none holy like the Lord:
for there is none besides you;
there is no rock like our God.”
Hannah was the first wife of Elkanah. She couldn’t conceive a child and endured that heartbreak compounded by the regular taunting of her husband’s (fertile) second wife. Once the priest Eli overheard her praying and weeping bitterly to the Lord.
Eli assured her that God would give her the desires of her heart, and, in time, Hannah conceived a son who would become the prophet Samuel. The second chapter of 1 Samuel opens with her prayer of thanksgiving and dedication.
3. David’s grateful worship (2 Samuel 7:21–22)
“Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it. Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.”
It’s not just in the Psalms that you get a peek at David’s worshipful spirit. Throughout the Samuels and Chronicles you see David respond in beautiful worship to God. It just naturally bubbles up, which is why, despite David’s serious sins, God would call him a man after his own heart.
4. David’s song of thankful worship (1 Chronicles 16:31–34)
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
In the middle of 1 Chronicles is beautiful Psalm of thanksgiving written by David. He is so overjoyed that the Ark of the Covenant is back in Jerusalem that he composes this song of worship.
Like much of the worship in the Old Testament, it is a celebration of the things God has done—and is doing. It builds to a crescendo of creations song of praise, of seas roaring and fields exulting.
5. Nebuchadnezzar’s humble worship (Daniel 4:37)
“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.”
Sometimes God’s worship is hard won on the fields of hardened hearts. King Nebuchadnezzar was warned in a dream (which Daniel interpreted) that he needed to repent of his pride or he would suffer the indignity of being driven away from people and living like a wild animal. God patiently gave Nebuchadnezzar a year to respond.
After a year, the king was stricken as the Lord as said. He lost his mind for seven years and lived like an animal. When his senses, and his kingdom, was returned to him, he had learned something valuable about worship—and humility.
