Food For Thought on Worship

Disclaimer:: These are my own opinions and thoughts. They're not entirely complete, and this post is always open for comments. This is just something that the Lord has been putting on my heart to really think about lately.

---------

As a church we need to take the focus off of ourselves and onto the Holy God.

We so often sing songs revolving around us, and what the Lord can do for us and what He DOES do for us. But is that really worship? Is that really praise? I often hear from worship leaders that worship isn't about us- it's about him. However, that isn't what I've seen in the church.

We are so self-focused, self-entitled, and just plain selfish that we even make worship toward the Lord about ourselves. God isn't good because of the blessings He gives us. He's good because He is God. That is who He is. God isn't faithful because He's never forsaken us. God is just faithful. That's who He is. He can't deny who He is. He can't go against who He is. He is LOVE, that's why He is loving and loves us.

Do we worship God for what He does for us? Or do we worship God for who He is?

Just some food for thought.
