This document provides a 5-day Bible study on worship. It discusses different aspects of worship, including that worship should be a daily lifestyle, not just something done on the Sabbath. Worship can be inward, upward, and outward focused. Inward worship examines one's thoughts and motives. Upward worship includes praise for who God is and thanksgiving for what he has done. Outward worship means sharing one's faith and helping others. The study also examines examples of worship in the Bible, such as by the people of Judah who were delivered when they worshipped God, and how encounters with God's presence transformed figures like Isaiah.
