If you are not captivated by the glory and majesty of God in worship, then you're in danger of being spellbound by the world's tinsel. “Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before, which sounded like a mighty trumpet blast, spoke to me and said, "Come up here and I will show you what must happen in the future!" (Revelation 4:1NIV). In this passage, we don't know for sure how John understood what he saw. What we do know is that John viewed an expressive worship that seemed to involve the body, soul and spirit. They appear to be lost, totally absorbed in giving adoration to God. To Worship we must respond to the invitation for us to come into the presence of God's glory. John had to make a decision of his will, whether or not he would accept the invitation of the voice and come up and see the glory of God. Every service the invitation is given to each person here to come and stand in the presence of God and see His glory. YOU must make the decision to participate in worship. That means forcing your mind to focus. Many Sundays I find myself going with the flow. There are times that I'm too lazy to focus my thoughts. It’s no wonder that worship is illusive. When I begin to sing, I determine that I will discipline my mind to focus on the subject of the song. You've all had experiences of talking with people who could care less about talking with you. They don't give you their undivided attention; their eyes are wandering all over the place. I find that frustrating. In worship, God is looking for your undivided attention. Each Sunday morning, we have an appointment to corporately worship our Creator and Savior. He is present, ready to receive our worship, if you chose not to participate, it’s your loss. God has a right to expect from me my undivided attention. He invites me to lift my gaze from the material pursuits of life, and focus intently upon Him. I hold the key to worship. I have the power to make the decision to focus my mind on the glory of God or I can let it wander to things that rust and decay. How many of you have been to services where they keep you standing for all the singing? I had always had a problem with worship services where you have to stand for a long time. After two songs, maybe three at the most, I get tired of standing. Is there anyone who knows what I'm talking about? Two weeks ago while in worship I asked myself this question, “why do you get tired of standing and sit during worship?" When I analyzed why I don't like to stand it boiled down to two principle realities: First, I have an inadequate vision of the blazing glory and majesty of my God! The second reality I have to face is that when I sit, I am not fully involved in worship. Maybe I sing, maybe not, but we can all sing worship songs and not really worship. When I don't find myself compelled to stand in His presence like all the host of Heaven do, I am demonstrating a lack of reverence and honor, all the Hosts of Heaven stand and praise in His presence, but I DON’T NEED TO?? It’s then that I have to admit that I am the center of my own attention, not God. It’s become all about me. Maybe I focus on my aches and pains, or picking apart the worship and songs, I can tell myself I can get the same experience sitting, but really what I’m really saying to God is that I don’t need to give my everything to Him, I’m stubborn and I’ll hold on to this or that. Do you ever say, “I’ll go to church, but I won’t participate”? who loses out? It’s all about worshipping our Heavenly Father no matter what the venue, IT IS NOT ABOUT US! My Bible describes two appropriate bodily positions for worship. Nowhere in my Bible does it talk about sitting before God. They either stood waving palm branches or they fell on their faces (not their backs or butts) to the ground.(Rev. 7) I recommend that you spend time in both positions. When you're at home alone, prostrate yourself on the floor before God and
