“9Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth! 2Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.” — Psalm 96:9 & 2 (ESV)
Yes, I know that I have quoted the verses above out of “order”. When reading this morning, this is how it made sense to me. Verse 9 above tells me to worship God for all that He is and then verse 2 tells me to do so every day. To me this is the approach we should have.
I have written about being intentional, in awe, and simple in our worship. Now I want to add in the act of doing so daily. Worship of the LORD is not reserved for Sunday mornings in that location that has been designated the church. I can and should be worshiping everywhere and at all times. God is not present only on Sunday morning in that location that has been designated the church. He is with us all the time and everywhere we are.
Yes, worship is something that we should be doing corporately, on Sunday mornings in the location that has been designated the church. That goes without question as it is good to be in the company and fellowship of our fellow Christians. I also have to remember that since God is with us always, I have to worship Him always in the same manner I pray to Him. If I am going to ask Him for help, I should also thank Him for the work and wonders He has done. And I should be doing so daily in any and all situations and environments.
When is it that you worship the LORD? Are you reserving your worship for Sunday morning in the location designated as being the church? What if you took to worshiping Him daily regardless of the situation and environment?
