Satan’s primary strategy is to keep Christians self-centered and self-conscious so that you never develop a God-consciousness. When you praise and worship the Lord, your mind is utterly fixed on Him, and you deliberately sacrifice and intentionally set aside your own situations, emotions, opinions, problems, worries, weights, and sins—and everything else involving self—to worship the Savior.
Sin is the primary way we become disconnected from God in worship. Not because He left us, but because we walked away from Him. “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need,” the author of Hebrews wrote in Hebrews 4:16.
Psalm 34:5 says, “They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.” Spiritual boldness is shocking to Satan because he wants you scared and trapped in sin.
If you want to throw Satan off his game, worship. No matter how hard it is, no matter what you have to sacrifice within your “self.” Exalt the Savior. Satan will never see it coming!
