Shopping List Worship

Worship has evolved with time to mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. When you look in the bible you will realize that worship to them was the centre of their lives. Have you ever asked yourself what worship means to you, have you ever taken time to think about it and have you ever answered that’s question before? God is moved to show up in your life when you worship Him with everything and when He is the object of your worship. You can make any request once you are in his presence.

It’s easy to stand in a room full of people and sing songs of worship and people either connect with them or people are baffled. It’s easy to choose songs that you know that anytime, any day you will “kill it” or you will deliver or we choose songs that won’t work.  We get in frantic mode to pick the best songs everyone will like, that every church is doing, the ones on the radio or songs that make everyone jump.
