S – But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship him. ²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and in truth.” 

John 4:23–24 CSB

O – Commentary:

True worshipers are those who realize that Jesus is the Truth of God (3:21; 14:6) and the one and only Way to the Father (Acts 4:12). To worship in truth is to worship God through Jesus. To worship in Spirit is to worship in the new realm which God has revealed to people. The Father is seeking true worshipers because He wants people to live in reality, not in falsehood. Everybody is a worshiper (Rom. 1:25) but because of sin many are blind and constantly put their trust in worthless objects.

4:24. God is Spirit is a better translation than the KJV‘s “God is a Spirit.” God is not one Spirit among many. This is a declaration of His invisible nature. He is not confined to one location. Worship of God can be done only through the One (Jesus) who expresses God’s invisible nature (1:18) and by virtue of the Holy Spirit who opens to a believer the new realm of the kingdom

“John,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – Worship goes through Jesus – He is the Truth, God’s Word personified and it is absolute.  To pair this foundational certainty with the daily application of the Holy Spirit, you have true worship.  Reverence, fear of God and daily proclamation in our thoughts, words and actions take on a new depth and vitality because it is relationship based on an unchanging foundation.  We can worship with full confidence knowing God is not changing but in His presence, we are.

R – Heavenly Father, we worship you in spirit and truth today.  Thank you for your unchanging truth found in Jesus.  He personified your every aspect of your character and principles for us to live by each day.  Thank you for your spirit that empowers us to live a life for you in all of the chaos and changes we face.  We want our lives to be a genuine reflection of your love for us and others.
