Thoughts from here and there…
Why should I worship?
A little girl came to her mother with the age-old question, “Mother, what is God like?”
Her mother hesitated. “Ask your father.” Her father also hesitated.
Later among her childish possessions, her mother found this scrap of paper on which were written these words in free verse:
“I asked my mother what God was like.
She did not know.
Then I asked my father, who knows more than anyone else in all the world what God was like.
He did not know.
I think if I had lived as long as my mother and father,
I would know something about God.”

If someone were to ask you what God was like, how would you answer? Would you hesitate? If you attempt to answer the question, how would you know that your information was accurate?
Worship is a time not only to praise God for God’s blessings, it is a time to learn about God, and life, and yourself. If you spend time in worship do you believe that you might be better able to answer the questions that come not only about what God is like, but also those troubling questions that come to us. It’s possible.
The Apostle Paul writing in Ephesians 1:17-19, wrote “I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power.”
God wants to get to know you better. There is nothing better than knowing God.
