Bringing the Hope & Reality of the
Worship is a Lifestyle…by Jilleen
Worship
is
more
than
a
song;
it
is
a
way
of
life.
It
is
not
confined
to
a
church
service
or
a
moment
of
music,
but
rather
a
daily
posture
of
surrender
before
God.
Jesus
said
in
John
4:24,
“God
is
Spirit,
and
those
who
worship
Him
must
worship
in
spirit
and
truth.”
Worship
is
not
just
about
singing,
it’s
about
living
in
a
constant
awareness
of
His
presence.
It
is
about
keeping
our
hearts
set
on
Him,
no
matter
where
we
are
or
what
we
are doing.
Growing
up
in
revival
meetings,
I
experienced
firsthand
how
the
presence
of
God
moves
in
a
room,
how
worship
shifts
the
atmosphere,
and
how
people’s
lives
are
changed
when
they
truly
focus
on
Him.
Worship
is
not
about
outward
expression
alone;
it
is
about
yielding to the Holy Spirit.
Audio to Message: Worship is a Lifestyle
Many
times,
people
think
that
if
they
don’t
feel
something
dramatic
happening,
then
nothing
is
taking
place.
But
that
isn’t
true.
God
is
always
working,
whether
we
see
it
or
not.
Psalm
46:10
reminds
us,
“Be
still,
and
know
that
I
am
God.”
Sometimes,
the
greatest
moments
of worship happen in the quiet places of the heart, when we simply acknowledge Him. Worship also brings peace.
When
we
turn
our
attention
to
the
Lord,
everything
else
fades
away.
The
distractions
of
life,
the
worries,
the
burdens,
all
of
it
becomes
smaller
in
the
light
of
His
presence.
James
4:8
says,
“Draw
near
to
God
and
He
will
draw
near
to
you.”
When
we
truly
worship,
we
are
not
striving
to
make
something
happen.
We
are
simply
responding
to
who
He
is.
His
presence
is
already
with
us,
waiting
for
us
to
recognize
Him.
Many
people
get
caught
up
in
trying
to
“do”
worship
the
right
way,
following
certain
steps
or
trying
to
recreate
a
past
experience. But the Lord once spoke to my heart and said, “I am not a formula—I am a relationship.”
Worship
is
not
a
set
of
rules
or
a
performance,
it
is
about
knowing
Him.
It
is
about
walking
in
the
Spirit
every
day,
listening
to
His
voice,
and
allowing
Him
to
lead.
Romans
12:1
calls
us
to
present
our
lives
as
“a
living
sacrifice,
holy,
acceptable
to
God,
which
is
your
reasonable
service.”
This
means
worship
isn’t
just
what
we
sing,
it’s
how
we
live,
how
we
love,
and
how
we
trust
Him.
The
presence
of
God
is
always
available
to
us,
whether
we
are
in
a
church
service
or
in
the
middle
of
our
daily
routine.
Worship
is
an
invitation
to
step
into that presence. It is not about us—it is about Him.
The
more
we
focus
on
Jesus,
the
more
we
become
aware
of
His
peace,
His
joy,
and
His
power
working
in
our
lives.
Worship
is
not
just
a
moment;
it
is
a
lifestyle.
It
is
a
heart
that
continually
says,
“Lord,
I
love
You.
I
trust
You.
I
surrender
to
You.”
If
you
want
to
see
God
move
in your life, live in a posture of worship.
Set
your
heart
on
Him,
not
just
in
music,
but
in
everything
you
do.
Worship
is
how
you
love,
how
you
serve,
how
you
surrender,
and
how
you
obey.
Seek
Him
first,
walk
with
Him
daily,
and
let
your
life
be
a
reflection
of
His
glory.
The
more
we
focus
on
Him,
the
more
we
will
see
His
power
at
work.
Worship
is
not
about
performance,
it
is
about
presence.
It
is
about
intimacy
with
the
One
who
is
worthy
of
it
all.
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” (Psalm 150:6).
