Intentional Worship...

Yesterday was Sunday, the day we go to church for communal worship. But what does that mean? Do we go to a building, sing a few songs (hymns), listen to someone speak for 30 mins and then go home for dinner? Is that worship? I don't think so. Making sure that I worship God in a manner that brings him glory should be the goal of every Christian. Going to church is not just about going through the motions, but it is about spending quality time with our heavenly Father.
Likewise, worship isn't just about what we do on a Sunday, it's about our daily walk with the Father. If I want to be intentional today about how I spend my day, it must be full of worship. I need to make sure from the very outset of my day, every aspect of my day must point to Jesus. This is a big challenge but I believe Jesus is worth it. 
In my bible reading this morning 1 Corinthians 6, Paul writes, 'Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, who you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your bodies.' If our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, then why wouldn't we want to share our day with God? Why wouldn't we want to worship the LORD with every aspect of our day?
I know that being intentional in everything we do is not going to be easy as we are naturally selfish. But if we ask the Holy Spirit to equip us to bring God glory - then why would he refuse? Jesus only did the things that brought Glory to his Father - let's try and do things today that bring God the glory as our act of Intentional Worship to him.
