Worship Words 1

God has given us 24 hours in every day, 168 hours in every week to worship Him in whatever ways we like the best….Sunday morning is just an hour or two of that time for you and I. In fact, it’s less than one half of one percent of your week.

Less than one percent of our week and yet we stand there and nonchalantly sing "You keep no record of my sin, you don't remember all my shame." We sing "Lord, I give you my heart, I give you my soul..this is my desire." Are the words that are coming out of our mouths true or are we just half-heartedly singing because it's what is expected. Do we just stand there and let everyone else sing while we "patiently" wait for the music portion of the service to be over.

"Oh no, are they going to do another song?"

What goes through your mind as we worship together in song? Are you focused on the words of the music or are you planning your to do list for the week? I have to confess, I know I have been guilty of that before and that may happen sometimes. But my desire for us as a church is to take our worship to the next level and to truly "worship." To focus on what we are singing and to Whom we are singing--our Creator, Father, Saviour, Friend.

As we approach that small window of time we have to worship together on Sunday morning, set aside the worries of the week. Leave them at the door. Instead come in and expect God to meet with us. Plan on it. If enough of us do, He might just surprise us and show up.
