As we think of worshipping God, let us look at this first part of the prayer which our Lord taught His disciples. Let us think of the word “to hallow.” It really means to make holy or sacred. It has to do with our attitude toward God. We need to realize that God is holy and His name is sacred. There is nothing that we can do to make Him more holy because that is His nature. But we can recognize His holiness and that is what we need to do. So let that be our motive today – to understand and recognize God’s holiness. That will lead to an attitude of reverence and that is true worship.
