“So now: Fear God. Worship him in total commitment. Get rid of the gods your ancestors worshiped on the far side of The River (the Euphrates) and in Egypt. You, worship God.
It is critical that we spend time worshiping God in some way each day. As I read this scripture I see that it tells us specifically we must "worship Him in total commitment." When it says this, it means we should find ways to worship in all we do. For many of you, that is caregiving! You CAN worship God in caring or taking care of another person in the name of Jesus!
This scripture also tells us to get rid of the gods of your past ancestors. This can be interpreted as your family. Maybe you were raised to praise money or influence which can become gods for people. It doesn't matter what you were worshiping, now you have to make sure if it wasn't God that's where your attention now rests.
I know that it sometimes seems impossible to find time in order to worship. Remember that the enemy will find any way he can to interrupt or stop your worship. Do not get discouraged or give up! That is the plan of the enemy! He knows that God speaks to us and encourages our hearts during worship.
Find your sweet spot when it comes to worship. If it is alone time in the Word of God through devotion, or listening to Christian worship music, or even sitting quietly waiting on the Lord to speak, do that at some point in your day. You can pray aloud or sing along to music as you are caring. Whatever it is that you choose, do that to worship!
