Worshiper first...worker second

"God wants worshipers before workers; indeed the only acceptable workers are those who have learned the lost art of worship." - AW Tozer

I wrestle daily with this tension and don't see and end in sight.

Who am I to argue with Tozer - but is there really a difference between working and worshipping? If you consider the Garden of Eden - man was clearly created to work - but it's not as clearly stated that man was to worship. All I'm saying is that they seem to be the same thing. Is it possble to work while not worshipping? sure. But I think God's intention was that would worship Him AS we worship - and vice versa. I'm not so sure they are to be seperated.
