" Worship is a Life thing, not a Weekly thing."
"Worship is this, that Life is for the Lord.
Every moment, Every hour, Every day, Every week and Every Year-It is all for the Lord. That is worship. Our first thought in the morning is the Lord , and our last thought at night is the Lord; and although there are many occupations of the mind and hand during the hours of the day, there is something behind the one who has been redeemed unto God that is always reaching out to Him. The lives of such are the prayer of worship. They are not always putting it into language and phrases, and they are not always on their knees, and they are not always in meetings,; but from behind them, so to speak there is that which is reaching out to the Lord-they long for the Lord. It is true of them, as it is true of those in the days of Jerusalem's glory, though they were far from Jerusalem they long for Jerusalem. "Oh to be there, the place of the altar, the place of God, the place of worship." Their longings were there and away they could never be satisfied."
