O God, we meditate
on your unfailing love
as we worship in your Temple.
As your name deserves, O God,
you will be praised
to the ends of the earth
Psalm 48:9-10
Have you ever heard anyone say, "I didn't get much out of worship today"? Have you ever said it yourself?
Many people treat worship like a performance. The pastor and the choir are the performers and we in the pews are the audience.
Wrong image.
In worship, we are the actors and God is the audience!
Worship isn't about us. It's what we owe Him … and what we are privileged to do for Him. "As your name deserves, O God, you will be praised."
And this Psalm tells us in part how to do this. It says ...
as we worship ...
we [will] meditate on
your unfailing love
Look at what this tells us ...
· Who is God? The one who loves … unfailingly.
· What should we do in response? Worship.
· How should we worship? By celebrating, recalling, and meditating upon his love, goodness, and grace.
· And what else should we do? Praise Him ... and not just a little ... and not just privately ... but publicly ... to the ends of the earth.
In Christ's Love,
a grateful worshiper
