“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; March 20, 2008

 

          What happens when we go to worship God?  While each of us has our own response to the Lord’s call, one that is often overlooked is the sheer joy and excitement that could be and should be found in gathering together with Him and His saints in fellowship.  Too often we view worship as a duty at best and possibly even a drudgery; but, why shouldn’t being in the presence of the Lord be something wonderful!

          Thousands of years ago, when a group of believers gathered with a renewed sense of worship, they were encouraged by their worship leader to, “Go, eat of the fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10).   

          This weekend many people will be gathering for what some consider another time of spiritual renewal and I want to encourage us all to share that same excitement.  Let’s begin to look forward to a wonderful weekend of worship … and when it’s all said and done, let’s be joyous that we were there!

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
