A few thoughts about worship:
1. Worship is a response to victory
Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphedgloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. — Exodus 15v1 (ESV)
REACTION vs RESPONSE
Israel’s Reaction:
10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord. 11 They said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? – Exodus 14v10-11 (ESV)
God’s Response:
15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16 Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground. – Exodus 14v15-16 (ESV)
55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. – 1 Corinthians 15v55-57 (ESV)
2. Worship is intimate, and deeply personal
The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. — Exodus 15v2 (ESV)
Love grows stale when…
But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first! – Revelation 2v4 (NLT)
