Worship Matters

I love worship.  It's my time to get with God through song to show what He means to me and for me to adore Him for a while.  There's no other time like it.  But, doing it week in and week out, it's easy for it to become normal.  Usually we don't see normal things in our live's as amazing or spectacular.

They're just routine; nothing great, nothing grand.  It's easy to let my time of worship fall into this category of staleness.

 This picture perfectly sums up how it can feel first thing in the morning every Sunday.  And after being in that mindset for a while, it also becomes easy to ask "does it even matter?".    

Absolutely it matters.  Even though it doesn't seem that way, our worship does matter.  Why?  Because God still gets what you're saying.  Through all of the sleepy faces in the congregation and through all of the bottoms of coffee cups you see staring back at you, it still matters.  1 Peter 2:9 says that "we are a chosen people who have been called from darkness so that we may declare praises to God".  After all, our worship is totally about God and not about people.  We are only leaders in that worship.  When we worship God on our stages, He then ministers to our people.  Without Him, we're are just putting on a concert every week.  So yes, because of Jesus, our worship still matters.

Peace,
