In this article by Sam Storms, we focus on keeping our priorities straight in worship, and sam focuses on the simple word "for". Storms explains that even though it is a simple word, it means a lot. We need to make sure we are worshiping for worship, not for performance. We need to be careful with our words and our attitude. We need to be careful with our wording, God does not need our worship, but we need him.
One of my favorite things storm says in the article is that God does not need us. I remember that this is similar to a message I heard when we were at hume last winter. When we are serving and worshipping our God, we are doing a good thing, but at the end of the day, we aren't doing much compared to what he does for us. The speaker talked about a time when he was washing his car with his children, and they were using toothbrushes to help him. They weren't doing much, but their father was happy with their help, just like how God sees us. No matter what we do for him, God loves us.
I really enjoyed how you elaborated on the main message of the article. You really focused more on the word "for" but so did I in my article. Overall your summary was very well written and I enjoyed it
ReplyDeleteBrennan, great blog! I like how you mentioned that even though worshipping God is a good thing, we are not doing nearly as much as God does for us. That is so true. We really need to remember that when we worship.
ReplyDeleteWe truly aren't needed by God, it's important to know that. I'm glad you mentioned that.
