Worship Isn’t Just for Sundays

Daily Devotions for Busy Lives

Worship isn’t just a Sunday song; it’s how you respond to God in the middle of ordinary life. In this episode, discover how simple, unseen moments can become daily worship.

Most of us think of worship as something that happens in a sanctuary, with music, a band, and a Sunday service. But what if some of the most powerful worship in your life is meant to happen at the kitchen sink, in the car, or while you’re doing the same chores you do every week?

In this episode, Bart shares the story of a young wife who was constantly irritated by one small thing: her husband’s dirty dishes left in the sink. Thirteen seconds, that’s how long it took to move the plate, rinse the fork, and close the dishwasher. Yet those thirteen seconds were quietly stealing her joy and hardening her heart. One day, instead of grumbling, she decided to turn those seconds into worship—thanking God for her husband and praying for him with each dish she moved. The chore didn’t change, but her heart did.

Through her story and the truth of Psalm 34:1, you’ll see that worship isn’t confined to a church building or a specific time of the week. It’s a way of living with a God-aware heart right in the middle of your everyday routines—especially the ones that normally annoy you. You’ll learn how small, repeated choices can turn irritation into intercession, and ordinary moments into quiet altars of praise.

Main Scripture:

Psalm 34:1 (NLT) –

“I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak His praises.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why worship is more than music or a Sunday service
• How everyday frustration can become an invitation to worship
• Simple ways to turn small, daily tasks into moments of prayer and gratitude
• How living with a worshipful heart can soften your attitude toward the people closest to you

Today’s Challenge:

Think of one small task or recurring irritation in your day, like picking up someone else’s mess, doing laundry, or loading the dishwasher.

The next time you do it, choose to worship instead of complain.

Pray for the person it benefits.

Thank God for them, and ask Him to bless them.

Let that moment become your “thirteen-second altar”—a quiet place of worship in the middle of your week.
