I originally posted this back in 2009 and shared it during our Communion meditation time yesterday at church…
We all worship something (sports, music, the list goes on…) – but GOD commands, desires, deserves our genuine worship! Our worship of GOD is so much more than Sunday mornings! It must be our entire life – a 24/7-kinda thing.
Our worship of GOD must become a HABIT. We’re all basically selfish (worshiping the things that please us or are interesting to us) and it’s probably not our default to worship GOD.
Keying off the word HABIT, the old English (and French, thanks to my friend Christian) definition of HABIT is “clothing, a condition, or character of something.”
Keeping in mind the definition above, a nuns outfit is called a HABIT. Their HABIT is a reminder to them and a sign to others of the cloistered life they have chosen.
As followers of Christ, we have a HABIT – JESUS CHRIST
- We are covered with Christ
Galatians 3:26-27 – So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. (NIV) - Our identity is changed
2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (NIV) - Our HABITUAL and PRACTICAL worship is a reminder, sign, and testimony
Romans 12:1-2 – So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. (The Message)
Our worship of GOD must be a HABIT…so “get your HABIT on!”
