Worship has always existed. Before any of us were here, there was worship. Angels worship. Creation worships. Even the rocks cry out in worship. So it makes sense that worship was around long before we had invented a piano or an acoustic guitar. Before we had a cathedral with a pipe organ. So then, like Rick Warren says,
“If worship were just music, then all who are nonmusical could never worship.”
Worship is not something you show up to. It’s not a church service. It’s not an event. Worship is everyday, every hour, and everything in between.
If we are always worshiping something and worshiping all the time, then everything we do has the opportunity to glorify God. Once we realize this, it has the potential to really change our lives.
How would the world see us if we truly did everything as an act of worship to God. How would our boss’ react if we viewed our job as and opportunity to declare God’s value? How would relationships change if we “loved thy neighbor” not because it’s good for ourselves, or good for our neighbors, but because the simple act of caring for someone else is a way to worship God.
If we really believed, and got behind the fact that everything was an act of worship, the way we lived our lives would look a lot different.

We too often ask God for an encore instead of enjoying what He’s already given us
