Worship Unrestricted

Lately I've been considering the subject of worship a little more than normal; go figure right. What I've come to realize is that we often restrict our worship to music or even to just music on Sunday mornings/church gatherings. The reality is that Jesus called us to much more when he said that the true worshippers would worship the Father in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24). Truth encompasses all of who God is and who he's called us to be and the work of the Holy Spirit reaches every area of our lives as we submit to Him. This means that everything we do must be worship. Our very being cries out to worship in all that we do. That's why so many people pursue money, fame, sports, entertainment, relationships, etc. with such passion in an effort to fill the void of worshipping our Heavenly Father.

My encouragement to you today is to not let anything restrict the way that you honor the Lord, but to do whatever you do as unto Him (Colossians 3:23). So whether it's business, family, entertainment, exercise, teaching or music, let's offer everything we do and everything we are as a sacrifice of praise to our God as we make our worship unrestricted.
