  OCCUPIED WITH PRAISE
  by A.W. Tozer
========================================================================

Summary: The quality of our worship and adoration in life will remain
the same in heaven, and it is our choice to make it a priority.

Topics: "Worship", "Eternal Praise"
Scripture References: Psalm 95:1, Psalm 150:6, Colossians 3:16, Hebrews 13:15, Revelation 4:8

DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that our earthly attitudes towards worship and
praise will not change after death. He argues that if we find it tedious
to worship God now, we are unlikely to become enthusiastic worshipers in
heaven. Tozer warns that God will not force us into a love for worship
that we did not cultivate during our lives. He highlights the continuous
praise of God in heaven as depicted in Revelation, urging believers to
engage actively in worship while on earth rather than resting too often
from glorifying God.

It is surely an erroneous supposition for humans to think or to believe
that death will transform our attitude and dispositions. This is what I
mean: if in this life we are not really comfortable talking and singing
about heaven and its joy, I doubt that death will transform us into
enthusiasts! If the worship and adoration of God are tedious now, they
will be tedious also after the hour of death. I do not know that God is
going to force any of us into His heaven.

I doubt that He will say to any of us, "You were never very interested
in worshiping Me while you were on earth, but in heaven I am going to
make that your greatest interest and your ceaseless occupation."
Controversial?

Perhaps, but in the heavenly scene John describes, the living creatures
crying "Holy, holy, holy!" rest neither day nor night. My fear is that
too many of God's professing people down here are resting far too often
between their efforts to praise and glorify the living God!
