Worship

God's been working on me recently about why I worship. Why do I raise my hands in chapel or Sunday mornings, why do I go to Vespers on monday nights? He's been challenging me for an answer. I'll be completely honest, I think that mostly I worship to get something out of it. I worship to get a word, or to get an answer. God always speaks to me in worship, its like our own special place but I think that's become the focus of my worship. I want a brilliant word that will solve many of my current problems. I want a gift. But that's not what its about. Worship is about praising our Dad for all that He's done and all that He will do. It's about thanking Him for His presence in our life. Its about HIM! I know this seems obvious but I think that sometimes it gets lost. We memorize the lyrics of worship songs without pausing to think about what we're actually saying. We wait for the drums to come in and want to feel the vibrations of the base and we get excited, but is that what its about? My very existence on this planet is to glorify God and that's what its all about. I exist to worship.
