Scriptural Commands
These commands and examples cover both exuberant
and subdued responses, celebrative and reverent.

emotions, from joy to lament.
Do our minds, hearts and bodies reflect the overall
biblical model on how we are to respond to the

to the reality, greatness and goodness of the God we
worship.

that God is worthy of our deepest, strongest and purest
affections. And that to bring Him glory with our minds,
souls and bodies is the very reason we were created.
