We are made to worship. People choose to worship whatever it is, God, money, people, relationships. But, you can't worship two things at once. Worshipping God is having a daily relationship with Him. Telling Him you love Him and hearing Him reciprocate that back to you. It's simply expressing your love to Him whether that be through music, dance, sports, or even simply walking to class. I am going to switch gears and simply talk about worship at church through music.
I think that sometimes we allow the structure of singing songs overtake us to the point where we're focused on being on pitch and singing the right words rather than focusing on pouring our hearts out to Christ. The atmosphere in our hearts start changing and we feel a rush of emotion over taking us because He is working and stripping away the uglies in our souls. He takes us to a place and when you're in that place you are focused on nothing else except Him. It's in that moment that You taste the goodness of God. The bible says that once you tasted the Spirit, you are forever changed.
Worship creates intimacy. Every time I close my eyes and worship, I immediately enter in a secret garden of joy and feel an overwhelming sense of love from God. When I am giving Him my love, my voice and declaring to Him how good He is, He immediately holds me and tells me He loves me. That is romance. That's a father telling His princess she is beautiful and worthy. See, once we have an encounter with God in that way, we start trusting Him more. We start wanting to get close and knowing Him more and more.
God is pursuing YOU.
My prayer today is that You would get closer to His heart through worship at church. You would understand that He hears You and He knows whether or not Your heart is worshiping Him or not.
"The heart is deceitful above all thing and beyond cure. Who can understand it?“ I the Lord search the hear and examine the mind to reward each person according to their conduct according to what their deeds deserve.” Jeremiah 17:9-10
