Worship is being in love with the Heavenly Father; waiting on Him, being led by His Spirit, and sharing in his passion. His praise is always on our lips. Your desire is to hear His voice whispered in your ear; to feel His heart beating with yours, to breath His breath, and to experience His joy. Worship is complete trust in His Word and promises, whether written or spoken. Worship is when you help or forgive others from your heart, to wash the feet of the wounded or heal the broken hearted. Worship is when you give a cup of cool water to a parched soul, or bless those who curse you. Worship is willing to sacrifice your life daily for others; it's when nothing else matters except knowing Him; it's forsaking the things of this world and speaking His words to create a new heaven and earth... Worshipers wait, listen and obey.
"Obedience is the purest form of worship."
Sheldon David
"Worship is the summit of the church's life, the fount of all ministry, the shared solidarity in community that makes fidelity to Jesus possible. Worship, is an expression of the discipline of the secret, it is not dilettantes seeking entertainment."
Brennan Manning
"Worship is only for small groups of clearly committed Christians who comprise an intense community on the basis of their common, intense loyalty to Christ."
Larry Rasmussen
In the days ahead, I believe, worship in every genre, from music to our actions, will be thrust into another dimension. A dimension in which we have never seen before. We should be open to however the breath of God's Spirit takes us. "Nothing is impossible with God." As the Bible clearly states, from Psalms to Revelations, the heavens and the earth are and will one day be filled with His praise and glory, as it is in Heaven.
