"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.
