The English word for worship is derived from an old English word worth ship. I’ve heard many excuses today why people are not vibrant exuberant worshipers, they blame their upbringing, their culture, or their personality for lack of fervency and worship. The truth is most people do not worship him because they are not awestruck by him, nor do they revere him. The enemy of our soul tries to convince us that if we do not feel like worshiping that we are behaving hypocritically. I have found that there are only two times to worship him when you feel like it, and when you don’t. Worship may consist of raising one’s hands, clapping, singing, shouting, dancing, or lying prostrate before him. Worship is always based on an attitude of gratitude; no one should ever have to be talked into worshiping him; after all he is done for us worship should flow naturally.
