Saints of the Old Testament give us very important clues in regard to worship 'as unto the Lord'. They carried out to the very detail, coupled with the highest degree of reverence for God when they offered worship to Him. Those of the first covenant did not focus on impressing the on lookers. They were consumed with carrying out what pleased God to the minute detail. Now that we are those of the New covenant, our worship to God will include the severity and dedication of the old. But just as our covenant with Him is far more superior than the old covenant, we have the exciting privilege of the inclusion of our hearts which is far beyond where they were able to go. One thing that many of the Old Testament had was the blessed grace to experience when God was pleased with their offering of worship. Fire came down in a visible way from heaven. What a sight that must have been. Oh what a blessing we have in the New covenant. When God is pleased with our worship there is an internal fire of the 'Holy' signifying that our love for the Lord is real. If those who would worship God is concerned with an appearance of form and fashion then there will be no fire. The more and deeper you go in your love for the Lord the more the fire in your heart will burn. To be a true worshiper unto the Lord God, our hearts must be completely involved. So we must conclude, true worship is an expression of love. It's a matter of the heart.
