Living a life of worship! Its more than just something to say, but its a decision to make. I was listening to Pastor Mark Driscoll, pastor of Mars Hill Church and Campuses, and he was speaking about worship. He explained how worship was often catergorized by a genre of music or an outward expression displayed inside of a church. Our society has tuned our mind to think that. Worship is not JUST that, but worship, as Pastor Driscoll tells it, is so vast and it embodies the life of a christian as a whole. Everything we do is and is related to some type of worship. Meaning everything i do from when I wake up to when i fall asleep at night is tied to worship.
He further explained that we were created beings, with the mindset to worship. So the question is not 'will we worship...' rather 'what will we worship...?' Or whom?
As i listened to the awesome teaching of this man of God, he let those know his philosphy of worship and life. I will never forget this and even until this day I use this as my uplifting and driving force. He says if everybody would go into each thing they do as it was a part of worship, life would be such much better.' Everything we do is worship and related to worship. And if we approach everything that we do knowing that it was a form of worship, wow...what a awesome and victorious life.
As I began to think about that, i went back to my churches bible study lessons we have been having. Developing the Kingdom. We are on a portion called 'Lordship' Lord meaning master or owner. Usually, as a spirit being covered in this flesh, we allow the Lord to be Lord over 'some' parts of our life! Not all. Which means we do not approach everything we do as an act of worship. When we allow the Lord (our master and owner) to be just that, LORD over our lives than everything we do, will be acceptable worship.
'...presnt yoursleves a living sacrifice. Holy acceptable which is your reasonable service.' Another translation says '...which is your accaptable worship' Hey, your worship is your life. We are created to worship and seek after something. He is calling for true worshippers, right? Inversely, there are some false worshippers around, worshipping something other than the true and living God. In psalms 24:6 the word says that '...this is the generation that seek Him...' Him, meaning God. Our Lord. This generation seeks Him, some have not. Let us be apart of that generation that seeks the face of the Lord. Shall we...? Let us worship with our life. In everything we do (Col 3:17).
Love you all!
