Change

Somethings never change.

"What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes 1:9

Change for the sake of change is usually a preemptive strike against the things that haven't changed in a while.  Change in worship styles is one of the things I have seen over the last few years.  I am amazed at our thinking that change is the answer.  It is!  What needs to change is not necessarily our worship style but our hearts about worship.

We need to begin to realize that when we come together to worship it is about God and not us.  We are not the recipients, nor should we be, of the blessings that come from worship.  We are blessed because we have worshipped and honored our God and Father.  God should  be the center of our worship and the blessing we should receive come from understanding that we are there to worship Him, praise Him, and honor Him above all else.

Can I receive a blessing by worshipping?  Absolutely!  But, when my worship focus is on how worship affects me, then we are wrong.  We are always going to be affected by what we do, but the focus of our spiritual worship as a church family should always be to promote our thankfulness, love and devotion to our God for the gift of salvation that He poured out on us through His son.

It is time for us to change our focus and look to God the inventor and perfecter of our faith.

I'll see you later.
