“But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.” Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

A friend asked me a question this week. From 1-10, ten being the highest, how much do you know God and how much does God know you? This is a number that should be between you and God because your relationship with Him is personal. This week I am going to encourage you to worship God with all five senses. The five senses include hearing, tasting, smelling, touching, and seeing. How blessed we are to experience God in such a rich way that we can worship Him with our senses.

According to the Oxford Dictionary sensory means, “relating to sensation or the physical senses; transmitted or perceived by senses.” We know that Jesus talked to His followers in parables. Our key verse from Matthew is Jesus telling the Disciples how blessed they are to not need parables because they fully know Him. In this particular parable, Jesus refers to the senses of seeing and hearing. We hear and see Him today because of our intimate and personal relationship with Him.

Let’s use our words this week to sweeten our worship. In Psalm 119:103 NIV we are encouraged to use our taste; “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” Now let’s go to God in prayer.

Dear God, Thank you for my senses of getting to hear and see you clearly. I desire to be intimately connected to you throughout my day. May the words from my mouth and meditation of my heart be like sweet honey on your lips. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
