Worship

It's been so cool what God's been teaching me about worship the last couple months!
back in Aug or Sept, I was talking to Ronney, the worship leader, about teaching the youth members of our worship team about what it means to worship, not just about singing well. He told me I should give them a little devotion on the topic before worship practice the next week, and I was at a loss because there was so little I could say about worship. God has started to teach me a lot about it since then. Another thing is I started reading the book "The prayer that changes everything" by Stormie Omartian, about worship, and that's been teaching me about how worship should be the first response to any situation. How it brings realization of truth no matter what else is going on, and opens the way for God to work in the situation.
Another thing that is so true is how we become like whatever we worship. That's why in the old testament God spoke of those who followed after deaf, thoughtless, lifeless idols and said, "They will be ever seeing but never perceiving, ever listening but never understanding" When we worship something that is less than who we are, we become less than who we were meant to be. And really, the only thing greater than us to worship is God. He is the only one that by worshiping, we can inherit his goodness, making us more than who we are without him.
