Day 5: Worship 7 Days a Week

I'm going to let the late A.W. Tozer take it today. This is a great thought:

But the Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence
before Him.
--Habakkuk 2:20

So I've got to tell you that if you do not worship God seven days a
week, you do not worship Him on one day a week. There is no such
thing known in heaven as Sunday worship unless it is accompanied by
Monday worship and Tuesday worship and so on....

We come into God's house and say, "The Lord is in His holy temple,
let us all kneel before Him." Very nice. I think it's nice to start
a service that way once in a while. But when any of you men enter
your office Monday morning at 9 o'clock, if you can't walk into
that office and say, "The Lord is in my office, let all the world
be silent before Him," then you are not worshiping the Lord on
Sunday. If you can't worship Him on Monday you didn't worship Him
on Sunday. If you don't worship Him on Saturday you are not in very
good shape to worship Him on Sunday.

Lord, permeate my whole life with a spirit of worship--all week
long, every day. Amen.
