The importance of worship in the world is this; that our songs and expressions fix our attention on One who is Himself the supreme reason for our living, enabling us to walk steadily through the gauntlet of the voices and fears that seek to demand our attention, toward Him.
The gift of worship is then completed by the fact that He is moving toward us through that gauntlet, dismissing fears and voices to come as we draw ever nearer to His Person — and He draws ever nearer to us.
The frequency of times set apart to engage our living worship in these singular expressions can shape and enhance the Godward motion of our lives.
