Heading out to church?
Are you bringing the right stuff with you?
Did you know that what you did all week having to do with your relationship with Christ will be what you "pack up" and bring to share?
So how was your week?
Did you find yourself daily in praise, worship, joyful thanksgiving, prayer, and supplication?
OR: Did you find yourself only aggravated, annoyed, condemning, not "drawing neigh to God" or finding place for Him in your daily routine?
Whichever question you answer yes to represents what you are bringing to your "church service."
Another thought:
How many others are bringing the same thing?
A "worship service" or "Sunday meeting" can only be the accumulation of everyone's weekly experiences with God.
If they are all "passionate" rife with "Emanuel, God with us" then the time corporately together will be blessed, and all who participate will leave there "lifted up."
If all who participate are "Godless" in their weekly relationship
then the "gathering" will be pointless and legalistic.
Because God is in His temple (people) He is either there because we all bring our share of Him or missing because the "temple" is Godless in practice.
We are bringing "Him" with us this Sunday! We have called upon His name throughout the week praying, seeking, reading His Word, rejoicing in His presence, and thanking Him in all things.
That's what we are bringing to share at our church service.
We are bringing the "wine", like the wine that was water changed by Jesus. We being common place (like water) but touched by the Master's Hand. Converted to a "higher calling", better quality than when we started.
When you pack your heart for service today include: Love, Joy, and Peace in the Holy Spirit.
Love
