What Is Worship

What IS worship? You may not know if your bored, stare into the air, recite without insight, sing without glee, do not know if you’re free… What is worship? It’s a kinship between you and the King. It is looking up… It is falling to your knees… Do you hate the thought of being humbled? I hate the thought of pride… God sees us in our lowly stance and picks us up to take us on the greatest ride. The chariot flies. My eyes are closed… My eyes are open… I am breathless at the glory… How can I NOT praise Christ! What one of you would humiliate yourself… What one of you would give IT ALL UP… What one of you would allow the extreme… What one of you would suffer, be betrayed, have all your friends run away, be slapped and whipped and not cry out for heaven’s help… …to the death, bleed out …even then be mocked …betrayed by YOUR creation Why worship…why NOT? Worship is NOT berating hating yawning but elating… Mercy and grace likewise not pondered and then you wonder at His justice… what about ours? As for me and my house we will gladly leap and holler, sing, raise hands with wonder… gloriously wonder at the God who loves this needle in a haystack, who lets me feel the fullness of my soul…his salvation makes me whole.
