How to Prepare Our Hearts for Worship

Read Exodus 40:34
Today’s Truth

In Exodus 40, God takes 34 verses to tell Moses how to prepare the tabernacle for worship. And Moses follows God’s instructions exactly. But what about us? Thousands of years after Moses and the tabernacle, worship remains a command, not a suggestion. So how do we prepare our hearts for worship?

Discussion Questions
  • It is often hard to concentrate on God when the world and its cares try to take first place in our hearts. What gets in the way of your ability to focus on God and hear what He says?
  • What can you do to prepare your heart for worship?
  • What times stand out in your mind as “best worship” experiences?
Application

Here are five ways we can prepare for worship:

  1. Pray that God will open our hearts to hear Him.
  2. Perceive what Jesus has done for us through His sacrifice on the cross.
  3. Praise Jesus for our salvation and for the freedom to worship when and where we choose.
  4. Present our tithes and offerings in response to God’s grace on our lives.
  5. Prepare to share what we have learned with the world, teaching others to follow Jesus step by step.
