Day 21

It is too bad that we misunderstand worship.

During a "service" of worship there needs to be a focus on God, and then an awareness of what we are singing/speaking or praying. The "service" is there to help us as a community express devotion, adoration, submission and love toward God. But that almost seems irrelevant if there is no connection between the expression of submision to God is not carried outside the worshipping community.

How can we declare God's great goodness, power and mercy on Sunday morning but then not even acknowledge God's power over our lives on Monday?

Is it ingratitude?

Is it a great disconnect between faith and the rest of life?

Is it a selfish faith that wants something for me on Sunday instead of realizing this is about God?

Sometimes it is just a puzzlement!
