Now is the Time of Worship!

Listen to this blog.

“The Lord told Moses to say to the people of Israel:
Offer sacrifices to me at the appointed times of worship, so that I will smell the smoke and be pleased.”

Numbers 28:1-2

What time does your church gather for worship? The standard Sunday morning hour, at least in the United States is 11 AM. When someone is not able to be there on Sunday morning they might say, "I wasn't able to worship this week." Even some, maybe many who sit in the pews on Sunday morning do not worship God while they are there.

My dictionary defines worship as it relates to God and to other men. I think we have petrified our worship of God into a ritual action or a set of words that we say, and call it worship. However the definition of worship when it comes to other men may still have the living meaning.

Worship: "To love, admire, or respect somebody or something greatly and perhaps excessively or unquestioningly."

When you worship God according to that definition, worship regains it vitality and reality.

The time to worship God is every minute of everyday, including while you sleep.

Here is a worship challenge: As you wait for the return of Jesus, worship Him excessively! Be the one who is truly guilty of being so Heavenly minded that you are of no earthly good! God will be blessed!
