The good God permits such small evils to befall us merely in order to arouse us snorers from our deep sleep and to make us recognize, on the other hand, the incomparable  and innumerable benefits we still have. He wants us to consider what would happen if He were to withdraw His goodness from us completely.  In that spirit Job said (2:10): "Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" ... Job said (1:21): "As God wills, so let it be; the name of the Lord be praised."He did not simply look at the evil, as we would-be saints do; he kept in sight the goodness and grace of the Lord.  With this he comforted himself nd overcame evil with patience.

     We also are to look at our misfortunes in no other way than that with them God gives us a light by which we may see and understand His goodness and kindness in countless other ways.  Then we conclude that such small misfortunes are barely a drop of water on a big fire or a little spark in the ocean. Then we understand and love the words: "O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever!"

 Martin Luther

Worship is not a function of the mouth but of the whole body.  It is to bow the head, bend the body, fall on the knees, prostrate one's self, and so forth, and to do such things as a sign an acknowledgment of an authority and power; just as people bow in silence before secular princes and Lords, and just as popes, bishops, abbots, and people generally, have themselves honored and adored by bowing and kneeling, and so forth.  Such outward adoration is what the Scriptures really mean by worship.... We read in theScriptures that worship or adoration is rendered outwardly both to God and to kings without distinction, just as bowing and kneeling are still rendered outwardly both to God and to men.

From this understanding of outward worship you will also understand what Christ meant by true spiritual worship.  It is the adoration or bowing of the heart, so that from the bottom of your heart you therby show and confess yourself to be His subordinate creature.  For from this you see that true worship can be nothing else than faith; it is faith's sublimest activity with respect to God.  For no one is capable of such heartfelt confession, adoration, bending, and bowing (or whatever you want to call it) before God in his heart, unless he unwaveringly holds God to be his Lord and Father, from whom he receives and will receive all good things, and through whom, without any merit on his part, he is redeemed and preserved from all sins and evil.           Martin Luther
