How do we worship?
It seems like an easy question, but it gets complex,
especially when you’ve been a Christian for awhile. It’s very easy for us to
leave the worship to the professionals. If we’re just able to make it to church
on time, then that should be good enough. If the music isn’t up to par, or the
preaching is off, then it will diminish the amount or quality of worship we
experience.
In John chapter 2 we see the story about Jesus clearing the
temple. They had been selling oxen, sheep and doves which were all to be used
for sacrifices during the Passover feast. It made it so these people didn’t
need to bring anything to the temple. If they were able to just bring money,
their sacrifices could be purchased.
Too often we come to church bringing everything else except
the most important thing-our sacrifice.
God is a gracious and righteous father. He wants our hearts.
When was the last time you prayed before a worship service on Sunday about a
sacrifice you were going to bring?
The best part about this is that God knows us. He knows what
we are dealing with and He loves us.
Deuteronomy 7:9, ‘Know therefore that the LORD your God is
God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand
generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.’
