Life of Worship

Worship is a common word in religious circles. Over the years, worship has evolved to something that is done at church. "We go to church to worship God." Although I agree with this practice and concept, I have come to realize that worship is far more than what is done at church. It is a way of being, a lifestyle. I believe God's greatest calling on our lives is to be worshippers. So, everyone's supposed to sing or play an instrument? No, of cource not. Worship in its highest form is our response towards God in every situation. Will I submit and obey God right now? Will I trust Him and not depend on my own rationale? Through the good and the bad He wants us to trust and obey Him, depend on Him and give Him praise. Let me ask you this, is God worthy of your praise? Is he worthy of your worship?
I recognize that I too fail to worship God everyday, but not from a lack of desire. In my heart I want to worship God in the NOW, in every moment, but at times I allow myself to be led astray. That is not my goal. I want to be conformed to His very image so I can be in His presense at all times and be what He has created me to be. So, I will continue to walk this journey. When I fall, I will wipe off my knees, get up and keep going. I will not be stopped. I will not be moved. I am on a journey to live a life of worship! How about you?
