True Worship



I have been pondering what the true meaning of worship is. Is it just slow songs in church? Is it an attitude? Does it have to do with actions?

I think it is a mixture of attitude and actions.

It goes well beyond just a set of slow songs. That can bring on worship, but just because someone sings a slow song does not mean worship is taking place. What would make a slow song that someone likes in church any different than a soft rock hit on the radio?

True worship evokes a response that brings pleasure to God.

Acts 7:48 "However, the Most High doesn’t live in temples made by human hands." (NLT)

Worship does not only take place in a church building.
It follows a person whose main desire is to love God and prove it by the way their actions make God smile. So worship takes place in Walmart, in the hair salon, in a theater, at the mechanic's shop, in the bathroom, etc. (I know someone who was filled with the Holy Spirit while on the toilet!) God will take our worship wherever we are.
