Our Scripture of the Day - John 4:23-24

23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24 (ESV)

Jesus did not say the Father is seeking talented worshipers, trendy worshipers, or entertained worshipers. He said the Father is seeking true worshipers—those who worship in spirit and in truth.

Spirit means worship that rises from a sincere heart, not from manufactured emotion. Truth means worship that is grounded in God’s Word, not shaped by personal preference or cultural trends. Take either one away, and worship becomes hollow. Spirit without truth drifts into emotionalism. Truth without spirit hardens into empty ritual. God calls us to both.

In a time when worship is often measured by how it makes us feel, Jesus reminds us that worship is first about honoring who God is. It is not a performance to watch or a product to consume. It is a holy response to the presence of a holy God.

The Father is still seeking worshipers like this today. Not perfect people. Not impressive people. Just honest people—humble enough to submit to His truth and hungry enough to seek Him with their whole heart.

True worship doesn’t start with a stage. It starts with surrender.
