Isaiah 40:8 KJV
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Isaiah 66:2 KJV
2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
We have talked many times about the importance of lifting God in praise, glory and honor as we worship him. Not once a week, or twice. But the importance of worshipping God each and every day and developing a worshipful attitude where we lift him up in praise, glory and honor consciously and subconsciously each day.
But during the “conscience” part of our DAILY worship, we should utilize the Bible. We should read and meditate on scripture each day as we lift God up in worship to Him.
God gave us a great and wonderful gift in the form of His Word.
He inspired the authors of the 66 books to pen words that would help His children navigate this life on earth and be a tool we use in our worship of Him.
Because of this wonderful gift to His children, we should read it and use it each day as a part of our daily worship.
Yes, God’s Word should definitely be a part of our worship.
As we read it, meditate on it, and read it again, we gain understanding and wisdom that our Father in heaven gives us.
As we use God’s Word in our worship, it takes more than just skimming or reading it. It truly does take meditation and thoughtfulness about what He is conveying to us. It doesn’t have to be a whole chapter daily but can be a parable or a few verses that are special and meaningful to us. The important thing is to READ it daily, meditate on it and understand what it means for us as a child of God.
As we use His Word in our daily worship, we find messages of joy and inspiration. We also will find that He gives us an answer for any problem or trial that we may be going through.
If we make God’s Word a part of our daily worship and worshipful attitude, we will be blessed with greater spiritual wisdom and understanding. And our daily worship will bring us into a closer communion with Him.
Psalm 119--What it Tells Us About God's Word
So, how important is God’s Word? It is VITAL and a NECESSITY for His children. God gave it to us for learning, wisdom and understanding of Him...and to guide us along in this earthly life. IT is HIS Word.
Below you will find verses from only one chapter in the Bible.
Psalm 119 by itself shows us clearly the value and importance of His Word.
Yes, there are a lot of verses below, but please take time to read, meditate and think about the importance of each verse as they talk about “the Word” of God.

If reading God’s Word daily is a part of your life already, you know how important it is.
If it isn’t, we urge you to make it a part of your DAILY WORSHIP. In fact, it is vital that it does become a part of your daily worship.
God's Word truly is a “lamp unto OUR feet and a light unto OUR path" and may we let it guide us each day in our spiritual journey.
