Animated Dirt: Why Worship is a Return to Our Roots

You know what the word "worship" really means? In the Old Testament, it's expressed by the word Shachah. So, what is Shachah? It’s simple—Shachah means to bend down, to put your face to the ground. That's worship.

When you place your face to the ground, you’re putting your head below your heart. Think about that—your head, your thoughts, your pride, all lowered beneath your heart. That’s the posture of worship.

Now, there's another layer to it. When you lower yourself like that, you’re saying something deeper: "I’m returning to the very place I came from, to the very purpose I was created for." You’re recognizing that you’re a worshipper at your core. That's who you are.

Sometimes you just have to get down to earth—literally. Put your face to the dirt. Worship is not about staying up in the clouds with lofty religious talk. Remember where you came from.

We are Adama. The word means "ground" or "dirt." That’s what we’re made of. At the end of the day, you and I are just animated dirt. All of us. So when we worship, we acknowledge that truth. We return to the earth, to our origins, because that’s where our true purpose begins.
