Worship

As I sit here and watch the Hillsong United"s new dvd With Hearts as One I am stoked! For those of you who have no clue who that is or what that is, Hillsongs United is a worship team from a church in Australia and they usually set the tone for contemporary worship music for most churches in the modern era! But as I sit here and watch people from all over the world sing and dance and experience God I am finding the two main ingredients, God and people! Not the music, not the lights, not the places, all of that is circumstancial and are only part of the ingredients but without the main 2, you have nothing!
Picture this, its like you have driven to the grand canyon in your car. Once you are there is how you got there so important? Wouldnt you look around in all of the magnifincance and just be in awe of where you are? Do you think you would say, yeah I saw the Grand Canyon, but hey let me tell you what I was driving getting there! Isnt that how it is sometimes? We enjoy the ride getting there rather than what we went to see? God is so much bigger than the avenue we use to get to Him! I love music but worship isnt about the music! It isnt about setting the mood, it isnt about what you listen too, it isnt about your style or how you worship!
Worship has to do with how we live our lives infront of God! Its us, and God and how we thank Him for what He has given us then we go live it out! That is worship! You dont need a car to go somewhere, all you need is an open heart! We are God's most cherished creation, and He totally is sold to those whose hearts are turned to Him! So the next time you have a chance, thank God for your next breath, your next meal, your next stage in life and just spend time knowing that God is looking for you, and He is waiting for you in worship!
