"Attitude of Worship:
Everywhere, All the Time"
Attitude of Worship: Everywhere, All the Time
By A. W. Tozer
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving
thanks
to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:17
I have to be faithful to
what I know to be true,
so I must tell you that if you will not
worship God
seven days a week, you do not worship Him on
one
day a week!
There is no such thing in
heaven as Sunday worship,
unless it is accompanied by Monday worship
and
Tuesday worship and right on through the rest
of the
week.
Too many of us try to
discharge our obligations to
God Almighty in one day --- usually one trip
to church.
Sometimes, nobly, we make it two trips to
church, but
it is all on the same day when we have
nothing else
to do --- and that is supposed to be worship!
I do not say that you must
be at church all of the
time --- how could you be? I am saying
that you can
worship God at your desk, on an elevated
train, or
driving in traffic. You can worship God
in school, on
the basketball court. You can worship
God in whatever
is legitimate and right and good.
Surely, we can go to church
and worship on one day,
but it is not true worship unless it is
followed by
continuing worship in the days that
follow. We cannot
pray toward the east and walk toward the west
and hope
for harmony in our beings! You can name
the name of
Jesus a thousand times, but if you will not
follow the nature
of Jesus, the name of Jesus will not mean
anything to you!
See to it that
there is not an hour or a place or an act or a
location that is not
consecrated and given over to God.
You will be worshipping Him --- and
He will accept it!
Yours in Christ,
Paul N. F.
