    About this ebook

    Worship is indeed the most awesome activity in which a believer is ever engaged. Man was created to worship God! Understanding the many facets of meaningful worship can enrich the daily walk of a believer desiring to pray without ceasing and to practice the presence of his Lord. Taking just a few minutes each day for a month to meditate on one of those facets can be a fruitful investment of one's time. Worship Is... seeks to enrich both personal and corporate worship for every believer who is sincere in increasing intimacy with the only God worthy of our worship.

      Worship is…

      As I sit in silence for the service to begin, I wonder how the living Lord might speak to me again. Will it be the hymns we sing or in the pastor’s prayer? It just might be his sermon or a need somebody shares.

      Maybe God will touch my heart through laughter or a sigh, Or even through distractions like a newborn’s hungry cry. Whatever means God chooses to bend my ear His way, I will worship Him expectantly for there is something He will say.
