Worship...

What does worship look like to you? What is suppossed to look like? Is there one way or time that we are suppossed to gather and worship?

While I know that worship goes beyond Sunday morning, I wanted to speak to exactly what Sunday morning worship should look like for each of us. Worship is not about the music, songs, sermons or anything else that we bring to the table. Worship should be about each of us individually and all of us corporately seeking to be in the presence of Yahweh. We should be doing seek out the physical presence of God. God is real! God is tangible. We can literally feel the presence of God. When we gather for worship we should be seek this tangible encounter with God. If you are not seeking this when you sing praises to His name then I would simply ask what are you doing? What is that motivates you to sing? Some may answer that it is out of love and thanksgiving but within that do you not also want to be in the presence of God so as to thank Him in person and to know that you have thanked Him in person.

Many of us are church leaders and many of us are actively involved in the planning and execution of Sunday morning services. Ultimately I believe that is our responsibility to do all that we can to help lead people into God's presence. God does not care what songs we sing or the music we play. He wants us to come before Him with everything that we have and are. As you look towards the future and your times of worship I hope that you are willing to give Him and everything about you and that you, whether you are a church leader or not, are willing to do whatever it takes to help lead others into His presence.
