Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.

A friend of mine, who is Orthodox (American church) has mentioned to me before that he considers anything you do for the Lord to be worship. So, when we reads the Bible, it is worship, when we help at a soup kitchen, it is worship.

But it struck me last night in a way that it didn't strike me when he mentioned it. I mean, I agreed with him, but I don't think I really was paying attention to the word 'worship'. I just let that fly right by me. I sort of heard 'it is pleasing to Him' or something.

But it is WORSHIP. And, if I take the passage a little more literally, if we are truly living for Him, and we are attempting to allow God to direct us, to guide us, then most everything we DO is worship. So, like, blogging here is worship...playing bartender at the coffee house is worship...even working at my job is worship.

Somehow, that seems very profound. I'd love to hear what other people think...
