“We are great worshipers.”
But, what’s on the altar? This thought was also from something I experienced at church today. In Sunday School we watched a Louie Giglio video on Worship. I wish I had the video to post in this blog because Louie truly has an amazing way of expressing things. The first sentence may puzzle you. If you’ve ever heard a sermon on worship, it’s probably been centered on The How. The How is so important. But what really moved me tonight was that Louie hit it up from a different prospective. “It is not the quality of our worship, it is the object of our worship.” What’s on the altar? As humans we are made to worship and we all naturally do so and do it well. It isn’t that we need to worship better, it’s that we need to check what the worship is fixed on.
Today, what was your worship fixed on?
Your job?
Money?
Time?
An Object?
Yourself?
even possibly your ministry?
It’s hard to think that if we follow all the bread crumbs back to our altar, we may just find one of these things sitting there. We can be doing all the “right things”. We can be saying all the “right things”. We can sing the songs, “Here I am to Worship”, “Come Now Is The Time To Worship”, etc…But what are we living for?
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ~Luke 12:34
Worship is more than a song. Worship is more than the things we say. Worship is all that we do.
So what’s on the altar?
Worship is the art of living. I totally agree with this girl. We worship not of the things we want, but should rather worship to do His will, and then automatically our core of worship changes from US or our objects to Him, who then provides what we want. Said all the right way :).
