What obstacles sometimes hold us back from full assent to the experience of worship? Is it just in the following the form or liturgy that causes us to experience worship? What, if anything, is limiting and how we come into an understanding that we “have worshipped?
If you begin to look at the life of Moses, Elijah or even Jesus himself, we saw that in the first two examples, when they came “into” the presence of God himself, they were outward signs of inward changes. Is this what determines worship?
As Evelyn Underhill wrote; “WORSHIP, in all its grades and kinds, is the response of the creature to the Eternal:” If we are to take these words and allow them to help us give a definition to worship, then, it would only be the beginning. The transformation that takes place is an outcome of our encounter, response and now transformed life.
The question for today would be “How can we enter more freely into the transfigured life as exemplified by Moses, Elijah, and Jesus himself?
How do worship experiences shape our communion with God and with others?”
Live the LIFE to not just experience worship but be transformed because of your worship of the CREATOR!!!!
