Ps 111:1 ¶ Praise the LORD! I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, In the assembly of the upright and [in] the congregation.

Some of my fondest memories have been formed in a church worship service. Especially when the Presence of the Lord seems to comes into the assembly like a thick cloud. I love being there with the Creator of the Universe. O, I know that He lives in me everyday, but there is just something special about the way it feels when He comes to me in that particular time of praise and worship. As much as I like my personal time of there is nothing that compares to those times of worship in the midst of the congregation when His Presence becomes so heavy you can feel it. I believe that He comes to our places of worship and sits there on His throne.

Ps 22:3 But You [are] holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.

You can watch praise and worship on television, but it is not the same as being there. I went to a football game yesterday; it is exhilarating when the whole crowd begins to roar in excitement after a score by the home team. I have been at home watching the same team, the same crowd and you know what? It doesn’t come close to being compared to actually being there. That is exactly how it is when its time to go to church on Sundays. You know you can stay at home and watch church on TV, but to be honest with you, it doesn’t compare to being there. I am not saying that you can’t experience the presence of the Lord in your home watching TV or worshiping on your own. There is always something special about being in the midst of a group of people all worshiping, with all their heart, the Lord. Now that is Exhilarating.

See you in church!!

Have a Great Day!
