Worship as a Lifestyle

I love how the Message Bible reads in Romans 12:1 …

So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. (Romans 12:1 MSG)

Have you compartmentalized your life in such a way that you have limited your Worship of God to simply the time that you spend together with other believers on Sunday mornings, or have you embraced the Biblical definition of Worship as living your life in such a way to honor and glorify God with your “everyday, ordinary life!”

This is why the 1st Century Christians and the 21st Century Christians are taught to …
"Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people." Colossians 3:23 NLT

Do you view time with your family as worship?
Do you view your time at the work place as worship?
Do you view your time in the classroom as worship?
Do you view your recreation time as worship?

In fact, a good rule of thumb is if we are involved in an activity that doesn’t bring glory to God, then maybe that is an activity that we shouldn’t be involved!!

Now don’t get me wrong, I believe that we need times weekly that we are encouraged in song, in prayer, in giving, in reading of the Bible, in spending time with other Christians, but we need to begin to cultivate the Biblical definition that worship is honoring God in everything that we do!
