When I was growing up, a long time ago before the earth's crust was solid, worship was never thought of as an adjective but rather it was a verb. I want to say that it is more than a verb it is life itself. We now have worship songs, worship time, worship services, worship leaders but do we have worship? Have worship as an adjective means that we compartmentalize worship. However, we are to live a life of worship.
I saw this about sixteen years ago when my son's best friend was killed in a car accident. When the police came to their home in the middle of the night his mother told the police that she knew where her son was, he was in heaven. The police were used to people reacting so differently, becoming hysterical and beating on them in their grief. This was a life of worship. God is good in the good times and in the bad. He is always good. He is not a therapeutic God but a sovereign God of the universe.
