Reverence for the Word of God.

“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me,…” 
Matthew 15:8-9(KJV)

o worship means to highly regard a person a place or thing. Therefore if you willfully make  decisions that go contrary to the Word of God, you are missing an opportunity to be a true worshipper. This reveals to you that worship is a lifestyle. So, every time you do things in conformity to the Word of God, you are worshipping. This is because God and His Word are One.(See John 1:1) Therefore living in line with the Word of God in your everyday life is worship to God. This is what helps some of us get more results in our everyday life because we know what true worship is.

For instance, if God gives you an instruction and tells you to give someone a particular thing or amount and you went and acted accordingly, you have actually performed an act of worship. If the Word of God tells you to honour your Father and your mother which He actually commands you to do in Matthew 15:4, and you practice the Word and honour your Father and your mother, you are actually performing an act of worship.

So you see that worship is more than just what we do in our Church services when we sing and pray even though these things are important. Jesus is letting us know that worship is a lifestyle that is consistent with the Word of God. Therefore anytime you do anything that goes against the Word of God, you are not worshipping.
