Five Minute Friday… five minutes of unedited, non stop writing on this week’s given theme ‘Worship’
Let us enter a time of worship…
Worship the Lord in spirit and in truth…
This is your spiritual act of worship…
Let us continue to worship God with our offering…
Sing songs of worship…
The word worship is a strange one. On the one hand you get this idea of sacred, reverend moments where everything and everyone else is put to aside and God is held above all others. Maybe not actually kneeling down; but certainly assuming a solemn position.
But on the other hand there is a picture of simple daily living. Making decisions and performing tasks in the light of love and mercy that have already been given. A willingness to surrender all power and possessions.
I reckon worship can be elaborate and extravagant. But I don’t think it has to be.
It can be simple and quiet and almost invisible to the passer-by.
Whether you’re swinging from the rafters in praise, or sitting quietly – worship is only worship when it’s happening on the inside. I was once told that your relationship with God is only as authentic as the form it takes when no one but He can see you.

What an interesting, “gut-check for truth” idea–that it’s only worship when it’s happening on the inside! Yes, I hadn’t thought of it that way, but it’s true.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on worship! It is refreshing to hear that it can be anything we need it to be… “swinging from the rafters” or “sitting quietly” but that it is what is happening inside in those moments that really stirs the soul. Love the message! ❤
thanks, there was a time when I was ‘worshiping’ outwardly with no life inside.
Learned that one the hard way! 🙂
It really is all about what’s happening on the inside for sure 🙂 Thank you!
