What does Worship mean to you?

I am not talking about a technical or a theological definition. I mean what does it mean to you. Because what it means to you is going to determine how you worship. What kind of image comes to your mind when you think of Worship. What you think causes an image and then you respond and act based on the image. For ex… when you are hungry you think of a Biriyani or kappayum meenum and an image oreo in your head and next thing you know its a KFC or our home food.
Most of us we limit our understanding of worship … “singing”, “dancing”, “praying” ….. and so the list goes on. Now that is not wrong but the problem is the Limitation that we place on it. The image that we have of worship will determine what kind of worshipper we will be. If we put limits on our understanding of worship then thats what our worship will be. If we put time limits on it then we will worship in schedules and time tables whereas the TRUTH IS WE WERE CREATED TO WORSHIP GOD
CONTINUALLY….. You may ask how is that possible. I cant possibly address all aspects in this post, however just for meditation purposes think about it….. How did Adam and Eve worship? When were they in the presence of God (before they sinned)…
The Bible says in Leviticus 6:13 that the fire in the altar must never go out. We know there is a continuos worship going on in heaven. THERE IS NO BEGINING AND NO END WITH GOD…. THERE SHOULD BE NO BEGINING AND NO END TO HIS WORSHIP…. It is we who have self-acquired a remote and we turn it on and off based on our terms. There is a dire need for the world to see worship, worship at the workplace, worship at home, worship at hospital, worship even when you sleep
May God give grace and understanding that in this post and the ones to follow it will help us not only grow in our understanding of worship but also help us be “Incessant Worshippers” … His Name be Praised Forever.
