Worship at All Times

People have had the notion that worship is limited to religious services that allows them to verbally or non-verbally express their worship of God.

In an earlier post, I said, worship is an expression of our love for God. So whether we sit or stand, work or play if it is an act of love for God or for His people, it is worship. Worship is not about how you are feeling right now, because God as an object of your worship does not change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Whether you are happy or sad, grumpy or jovial, in mourning or dancing, you can worship because God will welcome your offering. Whether early in the morning, at noon or in the evening wherever you find yourself, worship the Lord.

It is this desire for the uninterrupted presence of the Lord that all worshipers must aspire for. For the Lord says in John 15:9ff: “Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.” (NAB)

When we continuously worship God, the enemy has no space to intrude and to cause us to sin. We will be in complete obedience of the Father’s will. Our righteousness will shine like the noonday sun. Our joy will be complete.

Worship Song of the Day…

Lord of righteousness you come in glory
Bright and morning star
All my days, I’ll worship and adore you
Healer of my heart.

Every prayer, every cry
You alone satisfy
We will lift your praise again and again
-High and Lifted Up (New Life Worship)
