Worship - A Daily Thing

Devotionals

John 4:23 "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."


I've come to the conclusion that it is almost impossible to come to church on Sunday morning and have a meaningful worship experience if I haven't worshipped during the week in my own time with God. It's like the little child who comes to a birthday party expecting to be the honored guest, everything revolves around them for that moment. How many times have we been that little child when it comes to our worship on Sunday? "Tada, I'm here!", I can almost see God shaking His head wondering why we can't get it right. The party isn't about us, it's about Him and all He's done for us. There would be no reason to celebrate had there not been a cross, I'm not worthy to be at His party except for the blood that washed me clean and lets me stand in His presence. Try worshipping for seven days by yourself and then coming to church to worship with other Christians, you'll never view worship the same again.
