The following is an excerpt from A.W. Tozer’s book Whatever Happened To Worship:
I am of the opinion that we should not be concerned about working for God until we have learned the meaning and the delight of worshiping Him.
A worshiper can work with eternal quality in his work. But a worker who does not worship is only piling up wood, hay, and stubble for the time when God sets the world on fire.
I fear that there are many professing Christians who do not want to hear such statements about “busy schedule,” but it is the truth. God is trying to call us back to that for which He created us – to worship Him and to enjoy Him forever!
It is then, out of our deep worship, that we do His work…
…I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.
These words from Tozer, though written decades ago, have prophetic timeliness today.
