Thoughts about Worship

Randall has been getting me thinking about worship.  We talked about it briefly yesterday am at Gate Crashers.  So in a few of the off moments I had during my day yesterday I jotted down some thoughts.

Today we talked of how:

God wants our worship

Not just a show

Not just a song

Or dance

Or any of our submissive gestures

Or sacrifices we bring to him like:

            – self denial

            – nice looking lives

            – regular church attendance

            – our tithes

If they are just a way to show how good we are.

They just aren’t enough to be worship

 

No They are not nearly enough.

He wants the centre,

The parts I’ve reserved for myself;

My motives, my time.

 

He wants me to see Himself

            In every person I treat today

            In my children needing discipline

            In my spouse needing consideration

            In my employees needing appreciation

            In my family needing my time and my love.

 

Each act, each thought, each word, lifted to him

My worship for the day.

    Do you write songs too, or stick to poetry?

    The words come more easily to my head than the music so I pretty much stick to poetry.
