Worship Word 5: G1391

Our fifth word for worship is Greek word "doxa" using Strong's Number G1391.

It is a noun that is used to mean as glory, glorious, honor, praise, dignity, and worship. 

Overall, this word refers to someone's opinion, judgment, or view. Specifically, a good view of someone which results in praise, honor, and glory. It also refers to godly majesty and perfection of God and Christ. 

Luke 14:10 is the specific use of the "worship" form of this noun in KJV. In the NIV, it refers to a person being honored when they choose the lowest place, but are elevated to a higher place by the host. 

So this worship word is associated with God's glory and the resulting praise and honor due to Him.

In churches today, we spend a lot of time talking about praising God and worshiping Him, but it would be beneficial to actually spend the time on the action itself instead of merely talking about it. 

Challenge of the Week: Focus on God's majesty and perfection. Set aside time to specifically praise Him, honor Him, and give Him the glory.
