At the conclusion of today’s worship service, the challenge was given to make our homes worship-ready. With the pandemic restricting large group onsite worship, can we see it as the grace of God giving us an opportunity to examine ourselves and our families the heart of worship?
When we gather online for the worship service, what are our attitudes reflected in our preparation?
What are
our heart postures when we look at the screen with the host, the worship
leaders, the speakers at another part of town encouraging us to worship as a church?
Is our home environment conducive and worship-ready for us to still our hearts, focus on God, sing and pray to Him, listen to what He has to say through the Word, give an offering for the expansion of the Kingdom and so on?
Are
there reverence and honor given to Him at the place we called home and the
place that God has blessed us with and a place that we are so comfortable in? Can
the same kind of ‘reverence’ and preparation be made when we come to onsite
worship service be replicated in our home environment whereby we can sit casually
with breakfast in front of us 5 min before online service starts?
We are given a new environment to examine ourselves as individual and as a family. A lot to think about and maybe a few adjustments to be made (or rules to set before next weekend service comes).
Let’s examine ourselves regarding our heart of worship? For this is the time that we worship the Father in spirit and truth for such people the Father seeks to be His worshippers.
John 4:23-24 NASB 23 But a time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
Last but not least, maybe a further test to ascertain whether our homes are worship-ready will be to start inviting people (2 of them since it is the advisories) to come and worship together with us in that home environment.
Who will be invited to my house soon? 😊
