As we talk about worship this week, I really am grieved that most Christians don’t get the fact that worship isn’t about what songs you sing, what instruments you’re using, or how old the songs are. Many Christians think we should only sing songs written in the 1800’s, as if that was the golden era of Christianity.

Last week I taught from 2 Chronicles 20, and in verse 21 as they’re marching to the battlefield, the people worship God by singing “Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.” This is a song we’ve been singing alot in church lately. Imagine, it’s thousands of years old, but many would say, “you can’t sing all these new praise tunes, they’re not biblical”. Cracks me up!

I love that today’s reading makes two very simple points…

• God is pleased when our worship is authentic.
• God is pleased when our worship is thoughtful.

In essence, God doesn’t care how we worship, He cares about why we worship! He simply wants us to express love to Him from our heart. However you do that, Great!
