Bow before God in everything; see God in everything.<\/p>\n
Do we know the blessing of bowing before God no matter what?<\/p>\n
Shachah- the most used word in the Old Testament for worship. It means to bow down, to bow low. <\/p>\n

First let me say my motivation is not fear. I would be afraid to live and not bow before my King, but it is so much more. <\/p>\n
Life is so much better bowed before the sovereign Lord of the universe. I live in God’s world as opposed to living in my foolishness. <\/p>\n

But if you have yet to taste the blessing of bowing, then you are missing the very best of life. <\/p>\n
