Worship: God is Worthy and the World is Watching!

Guest: Ty Olsen

 

The last five Psalms (146-150) all begin with this verse: “Praise the Lord!”

 

Worship (singing in particular) is one of the graces that God uses to bless His children. The Psalms (songs in Scripture) were used by generations past to draw closer to God.

 

God’s grace in our lives demands something, a response - singing is one avenue to respond and show God’s worth (worship) to the watching world.

 

“Singing has a natural effect of joy in the heart. But so also, it has the power of rendering the heart joyful.”

William Law, A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life

 

Singing is both an act of worship and an act of discipline.

 

Clarification - the “Million Man March” in Washington, DC was a gathering of African American men on October 16, 1995. Promise Keepers had a different gathering in the nation’s capital at the National Mall that was much smaller on October 4, 1997.

 

The natural response of seeing something beautiful is expressing it…sharing it with others. If something is really compelling your heart, you aren’t fully experiencing it unless you’re telling somebody! The way we worship and the joy we experience is an incredible testimony to a watching world of our true understanding of God’s goodness.

 

Matthew 26:30 - And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
