Anybody can observe the Sabbath, but keeping it Holy surely takes the rest of the week. – A. Walker
Jesus called many of those who followed Him ‘vain worshipers,’ possibly because they never practiced what He preached. Hmm!
It is true that in some things you can learn a lot by observation, but far more true is that you only get good at what you practice. And while there is no ‘one size fits all’ way to praise God, there is a requirement that we remember “He is Holy,” and our praise and worship offerings should reflect it. To praise God faithfully on Sunday in the sanctuary actually requires that we worship Him faithfully Monday through Saturday in our daily lives and activities. And our worship of Him is truly based upon the ‘worth’ we ascribe to Him in our daily living. If He’s not present in our work, recreation, home life, social interactions, etc., then more than likely we’re only observing and not keeping the Sabbath.
Until tomorrow…..
