I recently came across a newer definition of worship from Mike Harland, Director of Worship for Lifeway Christian Services. In His book “Seven Words of Worship” he describes worship as being our response to God’s revelation of who He is and what He has done. Simple enough, right? I mean, after all, He is creator, sustainer of life. We stand in awe of the complexity with which this world was created and WE PRAISE HIM. We look at our lives and realize what our God has saved us from, saved us to, and WE THANK HIM. We see how wonderful He is in spite of who we are, and WE ADORE HIM. There are, although, times when God is revealing himself to us and we miss Him, either by choice, which can be dangerous, or we’re too blinded by the distractions and burdens of this life to notice what He is doing. The answers would vary for each of us, but let us ask the question, “How can this be?” My prayer for all of us is that our eyes might always be open, that He might reveal more of Himself and who He is, that we might respond and say with all that we are, “Lord, you are indeed worthy of worship. With Praise, Thanksgiving, and Adoration, we humbly bow before you most Holy God”
