Recently, God has been revealing to me that my view of worship is very narrow. In Pure Praise, Dwayne Moore points out that the living beings in Revelation 4 keep on saying “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty…” It’s present tense. There is worship going on in heaven 24/7.

The Bible also tells us that creation cries out to God.

Then, if you consider the idea that there’s 6 billion people on this planet, it’s very possible that ceaseless praise is occurring around the globe from some mixture of Christ-followers.

All this to say that worship does not just happen when I lead it! Sometimes I catch myself asking God to show up in our worship time – wait, He’s already here! We just join in with the ceaseless praise that’s already occurring in heaven and on earth! Now, I’m not saying it’s a negative to ask the Holy Spirit to anoint a worship service or a person to deliver a message, but it’s just interesting how feeble my idea of worship can be at times.

This week, our Pure Praise study is on the attributes of God. Again, it’s revealing to me that sometimes I think of God smaller than He really is. As a limited human, it is easy for this to happen – however, God is not limited, He is infinite. I hope and pray He will continue to widen my view of worship and Himself so that I might have a greater understanding of true biblical worship and of who God is.
