Worship is what God wants from you and from me. Jesus hallowed and substantiated this in His chiding of busy, frenetic Martha, who was so critical of her sister’s sitting at Jesus’ feet: “Martha, Martha . . . you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:41, 42).
A look at the massive emphasis on worship in the Old Testament reveals God’s mind on worship’s priority. Exodus devotes twenty-five chapters to the construction of the Tabernacle, the locus of divine worship. Leviticus amounts to a twenty-seven chapter liturgical manual. And the Psalms are a spectacular 150-chapter worship hymnal. Divine worship has always been the occupation and sustenance, the priority, of the believing soul.
The other reason we ought to worship is the promise of God’s divine presence. We all know God is everywhere — He is omnipresent — and that He has promised us, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). Nevertheless, He has given the Church the unique promise that “[W]here two or three come together in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20) — which means that His presence is with us in a very special way when we assemble to focus on Him.
HALELUJAH. MIGHTY GOD HELP US TO WORSHIP YOU IN TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT ALWAYS
