Ok so I had a life lesson the other day and this is my report from it.
In this Life Lesson Dawn talked to us about Worship. Worship is defined in my dictionary as, “ to treat somebody or something as divine and show respect by engaging in acts of prayer and devotion. To love admire or respect someone or thing greatly.
She had us all pick out our favorite verse about worship; mine was Psalm 100(whole chapter). Worship is: 1) Ascribing worth to one who is worthy,2) Worship is being preoccupied with God. Worship should include the recognition of Gods personal characteristics. He is: Eternal, Immutable, Omnipresent, Self-Existent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient. He is Holy, Faithful, Righteous, and He is the Great Shepherd. Through the new covenant Jesus is established as: Conversion, Regeneration, Sanctification, Justification, Adoption. Through worship we recognize the benefits of the covenant, for example there is freedom, healing, security, peace. Worship is for the individual but for the congregation aswell. Corporate worship becomes more dynamic when paradoxal tensions are balanced. Worship should be: planned but spontaneous, cognitive, but emotional, taught but experienced, formal but informal, celebrative, but sacrificial, constant yet constantly changing.
Dawn said this one line that really captured and intrigued by mind. She said that worship isn’t about us, and that if you pour yourself out, God will fill you up even more. Its like, you have a cup and its full, you cant fill it up even more, it has to be poured out to make room to be filled again. I never ever in ever of evers thought of worship like that and it really challenged me in how I worship that I don’t pour enough of me out that’s why I’m not being re-filled, I need to be emptied in order t make room for more of Gods. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE NOW!!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson it was by far my favorite lesson ever (1st year included). It challenged what I thought was worship and brought a new light on something I love.
Any thoughts???? encouragement????
