Ideas for embedding the healthy habit of worship in your life
“Worship isn’t just one thing. It’s expressed in so many ways: in prayerful thanksgiving, in serving others with love, in showing mercy and patience the way Jesus did, and even in quiet moments of awe where words fall away and we simply rest in God’s presence. Romans 12 even frames our everyday lives as worship when we offer ourselves to God.” Nicola Morrison, Editor of IDEA magazine.
