In the midst of our busy lives, constantly moving from one task to another, it is easy to forget the importance of pausing to worship God. The call is to intentionally set aside time—at least one day this week—to step away from the relentless hustle and simply worship. Whether with family or alone, the invitation is to create a sacred space where worship becomes the focus, not just prayer. Worship is not limited to singing; it is an act of surrender and acknowledgment that everything we have and are comes from God.
Technology, often a source of distraction, can be repurposed to aid in worship. If singing is not your strength, let music play for you, allowing it to create an atmosphere where your heart can bow before the Creator. In these moments, even the symbols of our daily concerns—our wallets, our phones, our schedules—are brought into the presence of God, reminding us that all things are under His authority.
As we worship, we declare to God that our lives, our resources, and our time belong to Him. This act of worship is not just for God’s pleasure; it is also a moment where God moves on our behalf, doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves. After such moments, we may return to our routines to find that God has already been at work, orchestrating things beyond our efforts. Worship, then, is both an offering and a means by which God’s power is released in our lives.
Psalm 95:6-7 (ESV) —
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
- Romans 12:1 (ESV)
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
