“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24 (ESV)
Yes, God still is looking for people to worship Him with the right attitude. Some establish certain patterns and rituals in their worship of God and that may help them focus their hearts in their worship. But God does not look at the method or way we worship Him. It is not a question of how we sit or stand or kneel for the position of our body is not what really matters. Worship happens in the middle of a busy city and in the midst of a crowd of people or, out in a quiet meadow under a sky full of stars above and only the sounds of nature. Jesus says it is a question of our heart and our spiritual attitude. We involve our inner being and worship in spirit with all are heart, all our soul, and all our mind. Jesus also emphasized the importance of worshiping in truth. God knows our thoughts and the state of our mind and attitude when we approach Him. Our words and thoughts must be right before Him – that is when He responds because He knows we are in the right state of mind.
