pipto literally means "to fall down as if dead." my response before the supernatural, eternal God of the universe should be pipto. falling before Him as though i were dead. totally weak and in reverent fear. bringing nothing to the table, because i can't. there is nothing i can bring to the all-sufficient God who is my Father, my Ruler, my King, my all in all.
i am to pipto myself before Him and proskyneo Him. pipto and proskyneo should be a part of everything i do, that i am. worship isn't just singing songs in church on sunday. it is so, so much more. it is a way of living. of giving God every bit of me every moment. it is has nothing to do with rules, priorities, or segmented time given to God. He doesn't want to be first place in my heart. He wants to be in the center of it all. worship is to live with God at the center of my everything. constantly, intentionally giving all my affections to Him alone.
what i hadn't thought about: if my kisses, my affections, aren't going to God they are gathered up by satan. there is no middle ground. it's either one or the other. satan doesn't really care where my kisses go, as long as they are not given to God. which will it be?? where are my kisses going??
