Where are you right now? Are you at work? At home? On the baseball field? On a mountainside? What is it that you are doing right now? Are you aware that God himself is right there next to you?
In John 4:24, we learn that God is Spirit. As Spirit, our Father is ever present. He is in attendance every moment of our lives. Even on the couch.
"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast." Psalm 139:7-10
Not only is God ever present at work, at home, and on the baseball field, He is alive inside of each follower of Christ (1 Corinthians 3:16). God is right there with you. Everywhere you go.
The woman at the well asks Jesus in John 4:20 where worship should happen. What's the best place to worship? Jesus replied, "Believe me, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father here or in Jerusalem." Jesus' reply was simply "everywhere". Worship everywhere. Jesus knew the day would come when his sacrifice on the cross would tear the veil in the temple in two (Matthew 27:51) and allow all people everywhere to come to the Father directly in worship. No longer would it be necessary to worship in a temple or at the behest of a priest. As vessels of God's Holy Spirit, we are made priests (1 Peter 2:9), able to worship our Father directly.
So go worship. Worship 24/7. Worship at work. Worship at home. Worship on the ball field. Wherever you are, that's the best place to worship him!
worship Him 24/7...
