Worship is a part of every Christian's life. At some time a Christian must worship the creator. Actually, in everything they do they should be glorifying God according to Corinthians. So with that, are you a true worshiper? Or is it that you feel pressured by your surroundings to do the things that true worshipers are doing?
" God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” ( John 4:24)
In all truth, to search for the answer is actually answering the question. You truly know if you are a true worshiper because you are actually worshiping. It is an act that you can't just forget or not know you are doing it such as brushing your teeth. Most people don't question themselves after brushing their teeth by saying: "Did I brush my teeth just now or was I just pretending?" because that is what is classified as crazy. We know if we are worshiping and we know when we are not. There will be times that you look around and gaze but this is normal because we are humans. This is also why music is put forth; to distract the wondering brain into stimulation that heightens emotion to make the personal experience within each person more intimate with their creator. Music is also a way for the worship leaders to worship. I myself am a guitarist and this is how I worship my God. In turn, I am helping the other worshipers at the same time.
As a worshiper I also try to keep my mind sound on the things in life that are good. (Philippians 4:8) If I keep my mind on these things then I know that I am always ready to worship. I am always prepared for battle in a sense. The enemy can come from all sources and through many things and with this, we are always exposed to him. We are not of this world but we are in it now, so we must live appropriately as Christ did.
