A word of encouragement from AW TOZER
June 4
Attitude of Worship: Everywhere, All the Time
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Colossians 3:11
I have to be faithful to what I know to be true, so I must tell you that if
you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him on one
day a week!
There is no such thing in heaven as Sunday worship-unless it is accompanied
by Monday worship and Tuesday worship and right on through the rest of the
week.
Too many of us try to discharge our obligations to God Almighty in one
day-usually one trip to church. Sometimes, nobly, we make it two trips to
church, but it is all on the same day when we have nothing else to do-and
that is supposed to be worship!
I do not say that you must be at church all of the time-how could you be? I
am saying that you can worship God at your desk, on an elevated train, or
driving in traffic. You can worship God in school, on the basketball court.
You can worship God in whatever is legitimate and right and good.
Surely, we can go to church and worship on one day, but it is not true
worship unless it is followed by continuing worship in the days that follow.
We cannot pray toward the east and walk toward the west and hope for harmony
in our beings! You can name the name of Jesus a thousand times, but if you
will not follow the nature of Jesus, the name of Jesus will not mean
anything to you!
See to it that there is not an hour or a place or an act or a location that
is not consecrated and given over to God. You will be worshiping Him-and He
will accept it!
