Bible verses for children
Show respect when we worship.
Psalm 95:6
Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
Psalm 95:6 · World English Bible Classic (WEB)
In simple words
What does this verse mean?
Bowing and kneeling are ways people can show respect to God their maker. The invitation is about a worshipful heart, not proving faith through one body position. People who cannot kneel can worship just as fully while sitting, standing or lying down.
Before a song or prayer, take a moment to notice what you are doing. You could sit comfortably and listen carefully, choosing a posture that works for your body.
