Greetings,
I often meet people who want to know more about entering into intimate worship. Since this type of worship precedes transformation, this should be an earnest, sincere desire of every believer.
One of the best ways to enter the Presence of God is not to speak or sing about Him, but rather directly to Him. David said that we should enter into His gates with thanksgiving, which is expressing our gratitude and thanks directly to the Lord. But instead of merely saying, “I’m so grateful for what You have done for me,” why not begin to recall and name those blessings?
That part is usually handled pretty well, but what comes next? Have you tried singing directly unto the Lord?
Psalm 96:1 (NKJV) – “Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth.”
Notice that it’s not singing about God, but to Him. At times, we stumble with our words of thanksgiving because of our limited emotional vocabulary for expressing our love to God. Singing words that others have written can be a powerful way to express our own feelings if we sing it to God instead of “congregational” singing. Try it the next time you are in the church service, and especially in your personal devotions. Sing to the Lord!
Today, I’m worshiping with Reggie Royal and Judah in a worship medley. https://youtu.be/rNnLYBp2z1s
Remember to wash your hands often with soap and practice social-distancing.
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
