Everyday Worship

I read this the other morning, and wanted to share it.

It is my experience that the totality of our Christian lives-our entire attitude as person–must be towards the worship of God!

If you do not know the presence of God in your office, your factory, your home, then God is not in the church you attend either!

I became a Christian when I was a young man working in a tire factory in Akron, Ohio. I remember my work there–but I remember my worship there too! I had plenty of worshipful tears in my eyes. No one ever asked me about them, but I would not have hesitated to explain them.

You can learn to use certain skills until they are automatic. I become so skillful that I could do my work and then I could worship God even while my hands were busy.

If the love of God is in us and the Spirit of God is breathing praise with us, all the musical instruments in heaven are suddenly playing in full support! Even our thoughts become a sanctuary in which God can dwell.

Dear Lord, I pray that Your Spirit will so fill me today that my heart and mind will overflow in praise to You.

These words were written by A.W. Tozer, a pastor and author in the mid-20th century. His was a voice that called people to pursue God and live for Him fully. His words still carry weight today. You can find more writings like this in Mornings with Tozer: Daily Devotional Readings.
