I Choose Today to Worship with Authenticity (Proskyneo – Episode 22)

Worship isn’t a performance—it’s a posture.

The word proskyneo in Greek carries the idea of bowing down, of coming near in deep reverence, love, and surrender. This kind of worship doesn’t start with instruments or lyrics—it starts with our hearts laid bare before a holy God.

In this episode, we explore what it means to worship authentically. Not just with our words, but with our lives. Not for show, but in Spirit and in truth (John 4:23–24). Because worship that moves heaven is never performative. It’s personal.

Jesus modeled this so beautifully. We often picture Him worshiping publicly, but many of His most powerful moments of worship happened in private—praying alone on mountains, surrendering in the Garden, loving with His life. His worship wasn’t for applause—it was for the Father.

Authentic worship invites awe, humility, and transformation. It brings us to our knees while lifting our hearts. It is vulnerable, honest, and rooted in love.

So today, I choose to worship with authenticity. To let my reverence outweigh my routine. To stop performing and start bowing. Even in the quiet moments, even when no one sees—especially then.

Today’s Step

Take five minutes today to worship God in a way that no one else sees. Kneel beside your bed. Whisper a song. Pray with tears. Worship authentically, just between you and Him.
