Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” (Genesis 8:20-22 ESV)
Principle #1 Our worship is pleasing to God.
When Noah offered up the burnt offering, it pleased God. Our act of true worship (putting God above all else) is pleasing to God.
Principle #2 Our Worship moves God to act
Noah's burnt offering resulted in God saying in His heart "never curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth". Our worship is impactful!
More to come...
