Worship is often associated with music, singing, lifting your hands, closing your eyes and going to church.

But how much more could it be if we look t the true essence of what is worship?

Worship is a choice. We chose to give God our praise and surrender to Him. We sing the words of songs that glorify Him in all his splendor, and sing of how we worship, or how we lift up our hands, or how beautiful He is.

But can we not express this in other ways? Is not the pure essence of worship essentially living for God? In so many ways, we can choose to live in a lifestyle of worship. We surrender our lives to live for Him. Our being and thoughts focus on God. The things we do and the way we treat other people should all bring glory to God. If we centre our lives around doing things that bring glory to God, are we not choosing to worship God with our lives?

So worship can be so much more than going to church and singing songs.

Worship could be a lifestyle.

If we choose.
