In Part 2 I concluded by saying it's not our physical posture that really matters, but the posture of our heart.
That said, here are the TOP TEN REASONS worship has become a priority for me...
10) I need the interaction with other believers. I'm strengthened and encouraged by associating, fellowshipping and worshiping with them
9) My day goes better – feels more adjusted – when I've spent private time in Bible study and worship. Likewise, my week is more focused when I've been a part of a congregational gathering.
8) I actually learn more about God when I seek Him with all my heart. I'm reminded of His attributes when I speak and sing of His acts. And I rediscover His character when I speak and sing His names.
7) There are many in my congregation longing for this type of revelation concerning God. Though none of us will ever comprehend all there is to know about God, I want to help others see Him more clearly.
6) Uninhibited, honest worship by sold-out believers is one of the strongest forms of evangelism to the seeker that I know of. After all, they're looking for something bigger and beyond themselves to invest their lives in.
5) John 4 says that God is looking for worshipers; not style, not format, not performance. Just me.
4) King David, Solomon and the prophet Isaiah left us accounts too vivid and inspiring to overlook. I want that kind of encounter with God.
3) Beyond encounters or experiences, though, deep down I really want God Himself.
2) He asks for it.
1) He deserves it.
