Joshua 24:15
And if you be unwilling to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
It’s not a question of whether you will worship. It’s only a question of who or what. Even an atheist worships something, whether it is his intellect or will or stomach or sexual appetite or “freedom” or “the cosmos.” It matters not. The choice is always what, not whether, we will worship. Today, worship the only One worth our worship.
