Teach Us To Worship

So many times we are busy fighting over the way things should be done we are quarreling over the format and manner in which things should be done. At times we are at loggerheads because of content, genre, music instruments, day and time, we forget that it is God who should determine where we stand and who we become.

At the other hand we are like the Israelites when they wanted o bring back the ark of the covenant form the hands of the philistine and there at the threshold when the ark stumbled and then Uzzah who was seated driving the ox drawn cart reached out to hold the ark from falling and God struck him dead right there at the spot. King David wasn’t chaffed and went all out at God, even me I was like God what wrong did Uzzah.

Reading through a book I learnt that Philistine gods where always carried on a brand new ox drawn cart and Israel wanted to carry the same Philistine (worldly) model to answer a God problem or challenge. King David ordered a search be done and they learnt that the ark was only transported by Priests on their shoulder and only priest where allowed to carry the ark.

For a second I just want you to think through this how many things of God have you carried them or delivered them by using a worldly system?

All these worship wars, worship genre problems, time and way, format of worship aren’t all these dictated by God. Jesus before He left He said that the Holy Spirit will lead us to all truth.  How many of us allow the Holy Spirit to lead us to all truth.

The bible tell us

·         Teach us to fear of the Lord,  Psalms 34:11

·         Teach us to pray, Luke 11:1

·         Teach me your way,  Psalms 86:11

·         Teach us what we shall do with this child,  Judges 13:8

Jesus said the Holy Spirit shall lead you in all truth John 16:13 and we see that we can be taught to know the ways of God, we can be taught how to pray, we can be taught what to do and with this all can’t we also ask “Lord Teach Us To Worship”?

Not to stand to fight over which is the way, format, genre but to make sure that we connect with God and also to enjoy his presence at the same time bringing glory to God. 

May we be hungry and thirsty and hungry that we stand in a place where we are hungry and humble enough to be willing to learn, the disciple asked one thing, they asked Lord teach us to pray. I pray that the words that come out of your mouth today is God teach me to worship, teach us to worship as a church, as a worship team, as a couple, as a family or as an individual.

Teach us to worship. 

Worship Him In The Beauty Of His Holiness
