It's the day after Easter and I recline on our guest bed and write a paper about the respiratory system. The little girls are putting stickers on their letter "F" and the other kids are deep in their school books too.
It's the day after Easter, and this is our worship.
It's the day after Easter, and my Pandora station plays worship music all day long. The respiratory paper stops sometimes, and the writer closes her eyes to dwell on her Jesus. "You can have all this world, but give me Jesus..."
It's the day after Easter, and this is my worship.
It's the day after Easter, and I sit in the bedroom with the twins so that they don't talk to each other while they're supposed to be sleeping. My history pages ask me about the Scottish Covenant and astronomers and Pascal's Law and Isaac Watts.
It's the day after Easter, and this is my worship.
It's the day after Easter, and I stir cheesy potatoes in the frying pan and set the table while Momma cuts apples and peels oranges. We're working together to feed the family.
It's the day after Easter, and this is our worship.
It's the day after Easter, and my worship is vastly different today than it was yesterday. But I believe that we can live lives of worship, and that worship is more than just singing and reading our Bibles. Granted, that is worship...
School is also worship.
Cleaning is also worship.
Eating is also worship.
Breathing is worship, when you do it with the name of Jesus on your lips.
As long as you are doing your work to glorify God, then your work is worship.
Don't be discouraged by the drop from your wonderful church service yesterday to the grind of everyday life today. You can find God in the little things just as much as in the building with the cross.
Your life can be an act of worship to our King of Kings. Will you let it be?

I love the point that you've made here, about everything we do bringing worship to God as long as you're doing it to glorify him. It's nice to realise that you don't have to be standing in a church service singing songs to worship God, you can do it anytime, anyplace!
Anyways, this is a great post, and an important reminder to glorify God in all of the little things in our lives, not just the big ones...
Thanks!
Maddy :)
