Worship – Prioritizing Obedience
Nehemiah 9:38-10:39
True worship goes beyond singing songs or attending services—it fundamentally requires obedience to God. In Nehemiah 9-10, the Israelites demonstrated this by making a formal commitment to follow God’s commands completely. This commitment involved everyone from leaders to ordinary people, all separating themselves from worldly values. They pledged to seriously and completely obey all of God’s Word, making specific commitments regarding marriage, Sabbath observance, and financial giving. Today, we’re similarly called to worship through obedience, examining our lives for areas where we may be knowing but not doing what God commands.
