Is worship the thing you do on Sunday morning with your hands raised high in the air? Is worship the process of singing songs of adoration out loud?
Many of us get the concept of worship wrong. We box our worship into a two hour church service on Sunday morning, when win reality worship should be part of our everyday lives.
We really aught to worship God with every aspect of our lives. We worship God when we obey his commandments. We worship God when we love one another and treat each other with respect. We worship God with the way we live. The lip service that we give n Sunday mornings should serve only as a direct outward expression of what we have already showed to Him. It's sort of like a husband telling his wife "I love you" after he has prepared her breakfast in bed. The act of preparing the breakfast already tells her of his love and commitment to their relationship but those three little words at the end seals the deal. It's the same with God. Sunday morning lips service says that we love him, but coupled with our actions he definitely knows that we love him.
Each part of our expression is important but actions speak louder than words. So today, make a decision to no longer just give Sunday morning lip service. Worship God with you actions throughout the rest of the week because true love is displayed by what we do and not what we say. Think of it this way, what if your significant other says "I love you" whilst giving you a black eye, what are you inclined to believe?

For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in Spirit and in truth.

Totally agree. In everything we have to give thanks. Everyday is a blessing and have to worship him for that
