"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Worship

Yesterday at the Leader's Prayer Meeting. Ps Ronald shared about serving as a form of worship. I am reading "Think Biblically! Recovering a Christian worldview" and in the topic "Enjoying Spiritual Worship and Music", contributor Paul T Plew shared AW Tozer's view about the lifestyle of worshiping God regardless whether u are a leader, enthu-congregation or a mere pew-warmer:

It is my experience that our total lives, our entire attitude as persons, must be towards the worship of God.... If you cannot worship the Lord in the midst of your responsibilities on Monday, it is not very likely that you were worshiping on Sunday....My view of worship: No worship is wholly pleasing to God until there is nothing in me displeasing God.

-AW Tozer, Whatever Happened to Worship? 23, 122, 125

This state didn't just talk about our "entire attitude towards worship" alone, but also implied the importance of the joy of personal worship everyday of our lives! Did u say you have no time to worship God? How about the time u spent travelling to school or work? How about the times when you went jogging or slacking? May his praise always be in our mouths. I don't mean look like a freak that makes people think we're coo-coo, but in privately within the invisibility of our prayer closet. That is one of the most mobile room in the world, the prayer room. U can bring it anywhere, set it up and just spend time with God!

However I strongly encourage you to cultivate a the habit of worship as a lifestyle that consciencely set aside a time to do that in your life. Our God is so worthy of our praise and worship, let us worship Him in spirit and in truth!
