Tozer 'sings' The Symphony of Creation
I find I can't join the positive thinkers and stay always in the realms of roses and symphony orchestras.
I have to be faithful to what I know to be true, so I must tell you that if you will not worship God seven days a week you do not worship Him on one day a week.
We cannot pray toward the east and walk toward the west, and hope for harmony of our being.
We cannot pray in love and live in hate and spite, and still think we are worshipping God - no sir!
Remember, there is no magic in faith or in names. You can name the name of Jesus a thousand times, but if you do not follow the nature of Jesus, the name will not mean anything to you.
See to it that there isn't a spot or an hour or a place or a time or a day or a location that doesn't belong to God. You'll be worshipping Him - and He will accept it.
You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. (John 4:21-23)
You can't elect to worship God on just one day of the week. No worship is fully pleasing to God until there is nothing displeasing God in us.
POST SCRIPT:
Worship seeks union with its beloved, in an active effort to close the gap between the heart and the God it adores - it is then we have The Symphony of Creation.
