Today’s
Scripture Reading (February 12, 2012): Psalm 145
I love
sports. I love sports sometimes even when I am not a fan of either of the
teams. I love the drama, the strategy of the game. I love watching people that are
passionate about the game that they have devoted themselves to playing – and just
watching them play. It often doesn’t matter the sport. I can get into almost
anything.
But my
interest goes beyond sports. I love to watch people that are good at almost
anything – do what they are good at. I love the passion that people have for
some of the things that they do. It is a passion that I want to emulate in my
own life.
So sometimes
I wonder why we don’t feel the same way about God. I mean, how is it that we can
get excited about the stuff that we are passionate about and not be excited
about the God displays his passion in the creation of the world that surrounds
us. I get that there is a fundamental difference between sports and God, but
there is still should be a passion that wells up from somewhere deep inside of
us for the God that we serve.
The Worship
Service should never be something that we just get through. It should be a
place where our passion for the things of God is given voice – an exciting
experience that we can’t wait to experience. We gather to honor God and each
other and praise the one who so passionately created and loves us.
Come, let us
worship!
