Everyday Worship
Worshiping God is one of Christian life's most central and basic aspects. God’s people actively engage in worship of God all through Scripture. The Bible is filled with songs and poems dedicated to worshiping God.
While we often think of worship as singing songs of praise, worship can be much more than that. Actually, when we limit our worship of God to only singing, we miss out on a vital aspect of the Christian life.
Worship in Scripture is more than just singing. It is rightly thinking about and praising God for who He is and what He has done. Worship happens when we recognize God as God—when we’re in awe of His character and His provisions.
This means that we can worship God at any moment of our day. When we thank God for His kindness, that is worship. When we are in awe of His beauty, that is worship.
In Isaiah 25:1, the prophet Isaiah praises God in this way. Isaiah thanks God for being who He is, for being a very personal God to him. He also worships God for His faithfulness, which is an aspect of God’s character. Lastly, Isaiah praises God for all of the wonderful things He has done.
Isaiah may not have been singing a song at the time, but his words and actions tell us that he was worshiping God for who He is and what He has done. Isaiah was in awe of how great and wonderful God is.
Spend some time today thinking about God. Consider His character, that He is good, faithful, and loving. Think about the things He has blessed you with. Sit for a few minutes in prayer and simply worship Him.
Scriptures: Isaiah 25:1, Romans 12:1, Psalm 29:2
Prayer: God, You are worthy of my worship—not just through my words, but through my thoughts, actions, and attitude. Help me to live each day in awe of You. Amen.
Challenge: Worship isn’t limited to a song. What’s one ordinary moment today where you can intentionally turn your focus to God? Try it—pause, reflect on who He is, and worship Him right where you are.
