$0What is worship? Is it bowing down, closing your eyes, lifting your hands? Is it folding your hands, singing a song or sitting very quiet? It is all of this, and even more!$0

$0Worship is more than acting a certain way, or saying the right words. Worship is an attitude of your heart. An attitude of honor, respect, love, praise, joy, and excitement. Psalms 103:1 says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his Holy name.” We have the privilege and opportunity to love God all the time. We worship Him and bless His name by our act of worship in giving: financially, physically, socially, and spiritually. We worship God when we are obedient to his Word. When we do what the Bible says.$0

$0A few great examples of these are:$0
$01) Being a joyful giver.$0
$02) Encouraging fellow believers.$0
$03) Hiding his Word in our hearts.$0
$04) Keeping our bodies healthy and strong, as His temple.$0
$05) Singing and lifting our hands.$0

$0These are all good examples of worshipping God. God wants more than lip service. He wants our hearts to follow after Him! He wants us to bless Him with all of us, not 50%.$0
