Here Is The Best Way To Change Your Life

Ezek. 46:9 - "But when the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed feasts, he who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate.
And he who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. No one shall return by way of the gate by which he entered but shall go straight out."   NASU 
​

• Worshiping God 

The best way to change your life is by worshiping God. You will notice the worshippers were to exit a different gate from the one they entered. I like what Dr. James E. Smith said about this symbolism in his commentary The Major Prophets. 
 
"Each should leave worship a different person than he came in."
 
This is the best way I know to change your life for the good. When you go to worship make sure when you exit the building you are leaving as a different person from the one who entered. 

• What Should You Do When You Worship? 

First, I believe we should Praise the Lord when we worship. We should Praise Him for who He is. He is the Maker of Heaven and Earth.
 
Look at how the early church worshipped God in Acts 4:24 - "And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, "O Lord, it is You who MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM,…"
 
Every place we walk and everything we can see is because of God.
 
If you go and sit in a grassy field it is because of God. If you go and throw rocks in a creek, or put your feet in the ocean it is because of God being the awesome Creator He is.
 
When I look into the sky at night and see the millions of twinkling stars they are there to look at because of God.
 
When Leah had her fourth son she named him Judah, when you translate the name Judah it means "to praise." Gen. 29:35 - And she conceived again and bore a son and said, "This time I will praise the LORD." Therefore she named him Judah.
 
When you correctly Praise the Good LORD for who He is and what He has done it will change you. Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
 
Secondly, I believe we should Remember the LORD and for what He has done for us when we worship.
 
This is what Moses and the children of Israel did after being freed from their Egyptian bondage. They remembered what the LORD had done for them by defeating Pharaoh and his army.
 
Ex 15:1-6 -
Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said,
 
"I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted;
 The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.
"The LORD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
 
 This is my God, and I will praise Him;
 My father's God, and I will extol Him.
"The LORD is a warrior;
 The LORD is His name.
 
"Pharaoh's chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;
 And the choicest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.
"The deeps cover them;
 They went down into the depths like a stone.
 
"Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power,
 Your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.
 
What great things has the LORD done for you that you need to remember as you worship Him today? The one great thing God has done for us is that He has freed us from the bondage of sin.
 
Think About These:
 
Too many people try to get something from worship without putting anything into it.
 
Worship should be a place where you meet God and impossible to forget Him.

Stay Pumped,
