Worship is a powerful act. It's about the powerful effect that is created by focusing on anything. Whatever you look at in a focused , you are drawn toward, and will become like.
If you focus on things that are bad and falling apart, you are drawn in that direction, inching your way toward that thing. Stress gets stronger when you focus on what could go wrong and think about how wrong it could be.
But when you focus on a peaceful, unified, strong, healthy whole, you can move in that direction too. Stress falls away when you dream about what could is right and could go right. And it puts in motion an inviolable power that creates an irresistible response.
God Himself is drawn to the power of worship. He lives in it, like He cannot resist the power of joy and the choice to exert it. And where He is, there is a fullness, unlike the emptiness and shallow pain that comes from a focus on stress.
I am looking forward to what happens as we journey into this thing- worship. Take a deep breathe and plunge into it with me! 7 weeks of life-building power!
