What Is Worship?
without any stringed instrument or holy word of prayer, it shouts with bright color, "God's design for me is correct! Here, Let me show you how he intended me to be!"

Do what you love, for it is your comission. Like a tool which praises its master by working according to its design, so worship your creator by living according to your own.
Write, swim, paint, laugh, learn, live in abundance...that is worship!

MaRveL at all the different types of sand textures God allows you to feel between your toes.
BaSk in the warmth of the sun, and thank the Creator for it when you're cold because it isn't present.
DeLiGht in His love on a day when you don't feel it there but you KNOW it is.
WaLk somewhere you normally drive, and be glad for your legs!

Ok, Janis and Joy, I love what you have said. This is precisely what I have been talking about lately with the students in the youth group. It is amazing to think about all the ways to worship God beyond what we have been trained to do. Think outside the box. Every piece of creation should shout praise to God and we should shout praise to God for every piece of creation. Keep it up!

Worship is, by a dictionary standards, paying homage to God. I can give you another way of putting that: performing acts of faith. Faith is what I'd like to talk about right now, because understanding worship cannot be done without understanding faith. Faith isn't about who's right or who's wrong; faith is blind to opinions based on society or government; faith does not mean conforming to religious conduct; faith is on the inside. Giving time away to come to a church, a temple, a snynagogue, etc., that is an act performed because of faith. Prayer is an act of faith. Spreading word of you own faith to others in the hope that one day they may embrace that same faith, that is a huge act of faith. Faith isn't necessarily about what God intended for us to do, but rather what we intend to do for God. That's what worship is all about. It's about acting your faith.
