Another Post on Worship

One of the topics that quickly gets my attention is the subject of worship. In my short life I have learned some things about worship and I find that the more I've learned the more there is to learn. But studying up on the topic is only one side of the coin. One fellow wrote:

• "defining worship too tightly is somewhat like dissecting a frog to understand it. You might understand it but it is also dead. Worship is a humble, biblical response to what God chooses to reveal about himself."

Reading, praying, observing and exploring worship eventually must lead to practicing it. It is not enough to know the details, but to experience the presence. It is more than the posture of the worshiper, but the exaltation of the awesome God. It is one thing to be humbled and yet another to humble ones self.

Worship is a response to God. Just as a sunset may inspire a contemplative mood, or awestruckness, peace, expectation, or relief, each time we walk into the presence of God can result in a different response or reaction.

I have found that when I am restless I worship God and find peace. When I am happy, I experience affirmation. When I am discouraged I find myself encouraged. Each worship opportunity can reveal something new from God. Often it is determined by your need.

What is your worship experience like?
