2. Write down how you are worshipping God in each of these. 3. Is the list in the right order? 4. Pray over the list. What might you need to sacrifice in order to become a true worshipper of God? 5. Take action. Start living a life bent on pointing others to the King.
A life of worship is a life that glorifies the King. Is the King your only focus in life?
