T.D. Jakes states that when you praise God, you praise Him for what He did. But when worship God, you praise Him for just being God. I am guilty of mostly praising God instead of truly worshipping Him.
I try to spend time studying God's word everyday, but I know that I am not doing enough. I am in the process of getting my life closer to God by being a better mother and wife. I believe that we are to worship God not only in what we say but also in what we do. I can give lip service all day on how much I love God but what will that mean to God if I can't keep my home clean and my family taken care of in a Godly manner.
The first thing that I must do as a is to be a Godly wife. I must have the right heavenly relationship with my husband. When we get into an argument instead lashing out at my husband I need to try to be more understanding of his problems and to pray for him and with him. I need to pray for my husband's spiritual and physical health and other aspects of his well being. I am not saying that I am not to disagree or try to help him understand that he may be wrong in his thinking but I do not have to be mean in my dealings with my husband.
As a mom I know that there is nothing as contagious as a child's laughter. I feel that it is not an obligation but a cherished gift to get to raise my gifts from God. By cleaning my mind, my home, helping my husband and raising my children in Christ I am worshipping God in the best way I know. Hopefully one day I will be able to worship God through my career by shining His light through me.
