So what does it look like to worship God all the time?

I am currently reading a book called, "Worship Matters" by Bob Kauflin. I came upon something interesting and thought provoking last night that I thought I would share. It's something we probably all know, but it is certainly put in an interesting way in this book.

He poses the question, "So what does it look like to worship God all the time?"

Here are his thoughts:

"It's doing everything to draw attention to His greatness and goodness. It's doing the things God commanded us to do and avoiding the things he has forbidden, all with a heart that seeks to please and reflect the Saviour whose sacrifice rescued us from eternal damnation. It's loving our spouse and children, serving others, spending our money, helping the poor, driving our car, going to school, and working at our jobs in ways that bring glory to the Saviour whose praise will never cease".

Now doesn't that put an interesting twist on what we typically consider "worship"! Worship is so much more than singing songs or saying prayers. We can worship in everything!
