Worship Seven days a week!




I recently read a quote by A.W. Tozer that really made me think and I want to share it with you:



"If you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him one day a week." Wheeeeew! He goes on to say many try to meet our so called obligations to God in one day, a trip to church, maybe two but only if we have nothing else to do, and that is suppose to be worship! It can only be worship if you worshiped the other six days too!



Now that is some good teaching there. He did not say you had to go to church everyday but your worship must be a lifestyle not a one day a week obligation.



Deuteronomy 11:16

“Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them,



Psalm 29:2 Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.



Psalm 96:9 Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.



John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.



John 9:31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.



A good example of true worship everyday in the bible is Daniel:



Daniel 6:9-11

9 Therefore King Darius signed the written decree.

10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

11 Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.



The government has made a decree to pray to nothing but the King. Daniel did not care what they government said, because his life was worshiping God. So he continued to pray and worship three times a day. It was his custom (life). Daniel was thrown in the Lion's den because of this, but God spared the life of his faithful servant.



So now we must each ask ourselves, do I worship daily? Do I truly worship at all? It is a life long commitment to Jesus not a daily option!
