dictionary def is: The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.
I can't quite wrap my mind around what this means. Does it really mean anything?
Is it just transfer of your own responsibility or personality onto something else?

I would be disgusted by anyone "worshipping" me. Why would God want/need worship? Isn't it a waste of our time?

Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
God's Word is His Spirit.
God's Word is His truth.

We call our judges "honorable" how much more should we give honor to the judge of the universe. We pay respect to people in high places how much more Him who dwells in eternity, We love our families how much more our heavenly Father who first loved us. He wants our loving worship not some slave type of worship from an ungrateful heart.

What exactly are you saving up all your time for? He gives us the time, so why not Thank our God for it. Worshipping God is giving HIm praise for all that He has done for us. We have air to breathe, water to drink, clothes on our backs, food on our tables and so on. He deserves all the Praise and the Glory. All hail our Glorious God! Jesus loves you.

Total devotion to the Lord and living my life as He instructs me to. Praising Him, praying to Him. and sharing His word with others, so they can enjoy being in His presence and love and blessings as i do.

giving praise to God. its like giving God a present but its more intimate that that,
worship includes prayer, praise, and the sermon from the pastor.

For me it is a state of communion with God. It begins with the recognition of existence of both of us. and progresses through song, emotion, thought and spoken words sharing all of who I am and learning about who God is.

Letting God know how much you love him, and that you are thankful.
