The Air I Breathe

Recently have been reading this book titled “The Air I Breathe” by Louie Giglio, which seeks to define the concept of ‘worship’ in our lives. One chapter on ‘Why Worship Matters’ caught my attention. Many a times when I talk about the topic of worship, people tend to think along the line of Christians worshipping in church on Sundays.

What does the word mean to you? I particularly like this part in the chapter…

…whatever you worship, you become.
You can worship whatever you want, but there’ll always be a last twist to the story: Whatever you worship, you become obsessed with. Whatever you become obsessed with, you imitate. And whatever you imitate, you become.
In other words, what you value most will ultimately determine who you are. If you worship money, you’ll become greedy at the core of your heart. If you worship some sinful habit, that same sin will grip your soul and poison your character to death…..

Put it simply, we become what we worship. If you do not like who you are becoming, it’s probably time to take stock of things in your life. Whatever that sits at the bottom of heart will probably be the best gauge for you. I’ve been blessed with opportunities to reflect on my life and make some changes, often uncomfortable. Nothing in this world adapts better to new changes or surroundings than you and me. What’s stopping you?
