What do you think of when you hear the word worship, or are asked “Where do you worship?” What comes to your mind? Do you think of a church service with three songs before a preacher’s message? Or does the thought, What a waste of time or boring come to mind?
Or do you get all excited about the opportunity to lift up your voice singing songs of praise and adoration to our great and awesome King? Do you think of being consumed with bowing down in worshiping our Savior, our Deliverer, our Healer, the Lover of our soul? Of being captured and embraced by His never-ending love? Do you hope and pray the worship time will last for hours so you can go even deeper in experiencing more of His presence with awestruck wonder?
Lord, we do not want to miss out on experiencing more of You—and experiencing the indescribable, overwhelming joy of expressing our deep love to You through worship. Oh, how we love You! So we ask You, Jesus, to draw us nearer to You and give us a heart to passionately worship You. Amen
