My concern for worship all too many times in the past has been to be in an atmosphere where I could worship God properly. There was much emphasis on “me”. Was I excited by the music? Was I being led into the presence of God? Was the worship “sweet”? Was I getting anything from it? Was I being encouraged? Would I leave charged up?
I wanted a heavenly gas pump.
Pull in, fill ‘er up. Charge hell with a water pistol. Feel great about myself.
God? Who’s he? WORSHIP him? Oh, wait, I just want to enjoy his presence. I want to be happy. I want to feel cool. You mean, submit to HIM?
Whoa.

Been here many times, and you are so right when we stand back and finally get out of the way, there is a huge whoa! Thank you for this reminder, especially right before getting ready for church today…
