If we know how to play an accompanying musical instrument like a guitar or a piano or keyboard (we don’t have to be very good at it), you may find worshipping a more personalised experience as you have full control of the music, especially the key you want to sing in. Alternatively, we can just play worship songs on Spotify or YouTube and worship together with the songs.
As we sing and worship, we enter into the spiritual realm and sit at the feet of Jesus like Mary did. In worship, we may touch the train of his robe as it fills the temple even as we enter into His presence and His throne of grace. That is why some songs say that in worship, we see the Lord face to face.
It is true that worship doesn’t change God – it transforms us instead. It makes us have greater hope and trust in Him, and even in dire situations, we know He reigns and is in full control. Sometimes, worship changes situations. Sometimes, it doesn’t. But it can and will certainly change and transform us. No matter the circumstance and situation, what matters is that our faith in God is unwavering, unchanging. We are nevertheless steadfast and firm in Him.
Perhaps we don’t worship Him daily in our quiet time. Perhaps we only pray, commune with Him, and read His Word. But we should worship at least once a week, in addition to the corporate worship at the gathering of the congregation of God’s people. Have a personal time of worship. Personalised it. Make it our own time with the Lord. Worship Him for He deserves all our worship. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the author and the finisher of our faith. Worship Him and let worship transform us from within, from within our spirit, as we worship Him in spirit and in truth!
Have a wonderful and exhilarating time today worshipping God this Sunday morning! Meet Him face to face and let Him touch and transform us! Amen!
