“Come let us adore him,” says the popular holiday song “Adestes Fideles” (O Come, All Ye Faithful). The wise men came to adore the new king. But what exactly is it to adore? It’s much more than singing beautiful songs.

The night Jesus was born, the angels sang a glorious song in the countryside. The shepherds were amazed and filled with hope. Yet Jesus hadn’t done anything!

Praising and worshiping God is not just singing on Sunday morning in church. It is a pleasant and essential practice in our relationship with our Savior and Lord. It can even prepare us for a happy marriage!
