christ

objectively, christ is glorious and precious in himself - v4

subjectively, christ is precious exclusivr to belivers - mat 16:18; 2 cor 4:7

--
is christ precious to us?

faith is not blind. it is seeing.

- we rejoice in Him. - 1 pet 1:8-9
if u see him, u can rejoice.

--
we give Him the chief place in our affection and love - matt 16:18

where is ur heart? is in ur treasure. money, job, God, ministry?

--
we naturally desire his presence, long to enjoy intimate communion with Him- ps 27:4

--
we are ready to deny ourselves and the world for Him. - matt 16:24; Gal 6:4

--
we joyfully make sacrifices for him - phil 2:7-9; matt 13:44-45

--
we are mostly satisfied in Him - ps 73:25-26

worship is venting.. 
worship is the fruit of sanctification and satisfied soul.

if u worship, u say the good things about Him.

not about The songs.

- our deliverence frkm anxieties, envy and love of the world - 1 john 2:15

if we love the world , we haven't find christ.

our foundation of contentment - phil 4:13
overcoming power in suffering - heb 10:32-34

God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him.

--
how to find christ as precious?

2 cor 3:16 - but whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

jer 29:13 u ll seek me and when u seek me with all ur heart.

rom10:17 faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of God.
