What I Know About My God

Worship Old and New is completely full of information on worship, which, if I'm to be honest, I don't completely understand or retain all the time. But just in going over these three chapters and seeing how much there really is to worship, I'm blown away at how much underlies what we think is simple worship.

I've been convicted a couple of times lately, with the fact that I can talk like I know worship, and I can assume there isn't much more to learn..but I know absolutely nothing. The foundation of worship, the meaning, the purpose, I can grasp, but knowing the in's and out's of each different denomination and style is so important. How can I really know what worship I am leading, or really understand the position of people in the church if I don't know the origins and characteristics.
                                         I don't know what I'm talking about.

"My son, if you accept my words

    and store up my commands within you,

turning your ear to wisdom

    and applying your heart to understanding—

indeed, if you call out for insight

    and cry aloud for understanding,

and if you look for it as for silver

    and search for it as for hidden treasure,

then you will understand the fear of the Lord

    and find the knowledge of God.

For the Lord gives wisdom;

    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding."

                                    ~Proverbs  2:1-6
