The man who casually glances at the Word and looks away is like the man who looks in the mirror and sees that his face is dirty but goes away and does nothing about it. In contrast to that we are to look intently into the word. It means to stoop over and look intently, look carefully into the perfect law, the rule of life that is suited to our nature, the law of liberty, the law that sets us freer and abide by it. When we obey it, having become not a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, we are blessed in what we do. This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father, to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Worship is a response to revelation.
The word has been revealed and we are to respond by obedience. That is true worship and the marks of that worship are threefold. The first is a controlled tongue. The true worshiper has his tongue under control. He doesn't verbally lash out at people, or at God, or at his circumstances.
