The Psalmist David tells us in his song in Psalm 139:7-8—Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
Then in Psalm 95:6-7, the psalmist states, “Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you hear his voice,”
Too often in our Christian culture, we have limited what true worship is. To coin the phrase “at the end of the day”, true worship is all about who God is. In our worship, we honor God and we submit to His will. True worship makes God our highest priority as we remind ourselves that our life itself comes from Him. In Chronicles 16:23-25, we read: “Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods.”
Remember, worshiping God is a privilege. Declaring Jesus as Lord through our thoughts, words, or actions is an act of worship. It involves recognizing who God is and what he has done, prompting us to confess, repent, listen, respond to his word, and sing praise. These acts aren’t limited to Sunday church services!
Worship involves spending time with God through all life seasons, whether in happiness or sorrow. We should continually connect with Him during every phase of our lives. During difficult times, we can cry out to Him and share our concerns. In moments of joy, we can celebrate and rejoice together. In every high and low, we have the opportunity to praise and converse with Him. No situation can stop us from worshiping God.
Christians worship God both individually and in community. We can sing loudly in our cars, worship at church on Sundays, lie quietly under the stars, listen to others, or read the Bible with family, friends, or alone.
Worship can take many forms—such as painting, writing, hiking, or simply relaxing. It can also include helping with chores or volunteering your time. Worship involves praying, giving, serving, and sharing life. God created you uniquely, and He desires you to praise Him in ways that reflect your relationship with Him. You were also made to worship with other Christians, as faith is not meant to be lived in isolation.
This week, I challenge you to intentionally expand your worship beyond Sunday morning. Choose one new personal worship practice to try each day. Maybe it's starting your morning with five minutes of praise music, taking a prayer walk during lunch, or ending your day by writing down three things you're grateful for. Also, find one way to worship with others outside of church this week. Call a friend and pray together over the phone. Read a Bible passage with your family and discuss what it means. Serve at a local food bank with fellow believers. Write an encouraging note to someone, sharing how you've seen God work in their life.
God is worthy of our praise every moment of every day. He doesn't just want to be part of your Sunday routine—He wants to be the center of your entire life. As you practice both personal and corporate worship this week, you'll discover that worship isn't just something you do; it becomes who you are. Let your whole life be a declaration of His glory and His marvelous deeds.
Our Father in heaven, holy, holy, holy is Your name. Thank You for being who You are and for loving us enough to send Your Son to take our place on the cross of wrath and restore us to close fellowship with You. May we worship You not only on Sundays but every day through our lives and work. All honor and glory belong to You alone. Help us to walk in the Spirit so we do not fulfill our sinful desires. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Now Go Worship,
