We do not come into worship in order to squeeze God into our lives, rather we come into worship to meld our lives into God's.(my paraphrase from Schnase's book)
I love to worship. There's something mysterious that happens in it. It's energizing, life-changing. Worship molds me, moves me. It's one of the greatest joys I have. Whether I'm leading or participating at COFS or in the other places I visit, when worship begins, I'm almost giddy with anticipation. I try to come ready and waiting to see what God will do next! Most of the time I succeed.
How about you? How do you come into worship? Expectant? ready?
Worship is one of the important ways we fulfill the Shema, to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. But it requires our full attention, our whole heart. Like I said this morning, "where there is no passion there is no worship."
How do you respond to that statement?
What is it about worship that engages your passion?
I pray this week is filled with conversation so that our worship can grow in its passion each week.
See you in church!
