Then the other morning I opened to the 148th Psalm and begin to focus on how David was praying. It then became clear to me, if you read it you see David is extoling the actions of God, what He has done and what He is doing. God is the subject of David's prayer. I hadn't thought of it in that light before. I don't see it as the only way David prays or that we are exclusively taught to pray this way, but it is a different focus than most prayer I hear. <BR/>I like the end of the quote--<BR/>"treating God as merely one who sits in heaven rather than the God who acts in this world, inviting us to get in step with Him and His story as we enter, then no matter the emotion it generated, something besides worship happened."<BR/> No matter what emotion is generated, if we are in step with God in His story, we are in worship. <BR/> In general, I feel like I understand my walk with God fairly well, until I get around other Christians that is, then I find out all kinds of things about myself I don't really want to know. I guess that's why we fellowship? <BR/>Love DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905807.post-85375966428084134572007-07-20T20:38:00.000-07:002007-07-20T20:38:00.000-07:00I'm not sure if it's the same feeling I have, but ...I'm not sure if it's the same feeling I have, but I often feel that "worship" centered services are much more about us than God. I recenty went to a service that was worship centered and I felt a lot about the attendence, but little about God. I didn't feel presence, I felt people trying hard... And I always leave these experiences questioning whether or not I am a Christian, and asking if I call myself something else?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264591553582198976noreply@blogger.com
