In doing research for this series it has become evident that we sometimes forget that Worship is something we do for God and not something God does for us. I mean it's Worship after all.
I have personally been reminded that we get out of Worship what we've put into it.
It has been a time of reflection as well. I have thought about the times that I have attended Worship at various churches wondering what the church was going to do for me. There were times where I'm sure I was even somewhat critical of what was taking place.
I am being reminded of the importance of preparation and participation when it comes to Worship. Praying each day that something awesome will happen the following Sunday in corporate Worship. Praying in the Sanctuary during the week that someones life might be transformed. Praying that we might present something pleasing to God as we are in His presence - it is Worship after all.
I find that when I prepare in advance and wholeheartedly participate, Worship takes on a whole new meaning and renews me until out next time together in corporate Worship.
Anyway, that's how I see it...
