Every action, decision, thought, and habit is an act of worship. It is either coming from a place of love for God, or love for something else. Our habits, in reality, are "liturgies." A liturgy is a pattern that we act upon in order to cultivate worship. Recognizing something as simple as this changes how we approach our every day life.
ABOUT THIS SERIES: Your habits form you more than you form your habits. One study claims that 40% of our day's decisions come from habits. Most times, we don't even see these habits; we take them for granted, we mindlessly carry them out, and we move along with life. And yet, every time we do them, they are shaping us, reinforcing patterns, desires, and strengthening particular passions. In short, they are leading us in worship. How do we take back control of our habits and cultivate them in a way that leads us towards godliness and a love for Jesus? One way is to see our habits as liturgy: repetitions done to facilitate worship. When we see our whole life as liturgy, it changes how we approach every decision.
We all know the feeling of wanting to draw near to God but feeling unworthy or unsure. Hebrews 12 reminds us that our nearness to God isn’t based on performance or perfection. We haven’t come to Mount Sinai—a place of fear and distance—but to Jesus, and to grace. Through Christ, God invites us close, not because we are strong but because He is faithful. This passage calls us to lay down fear‑driven worship, receive an unshakable kingdom, and draw near with grateful, confident hearts.
