Let us rejoice!

Psalm 149:1 "Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints."


It is something about going to church and worshipping God collectively with fellow Christians that I value dearly. Going through a tough week, great week, whatever the week, it is always necessary to collectively praise The Lord. Some people think it is not necessary to go to church as a Christian, but there are numerous counts of God's people being blessed by coming together on one accord in praise. If you read Joshua 6 you will find how God's people came together in praise and the walls of Jericho came tumbling down. No, that was not worship service but it was God's people coming together worshipping Him and they were blessed because of it. The placed they worshipped in Old Testament was called The Temple. It was a sacred place and there was something about going to that alter that you could not get in personal commune with God. Even though we are the temple of God, there is nothing wrong with corporately praising our God. Yes, salvation is personal but God encourages us to fellowship with one another as well. Can we really say we love Jesus if we do not love the idea of church HE created? Heaven is church! You have a choir singing and ALL is worshiping God in their own way so if we have a problem with it now then how will we be okay to do it in Heaven? God created us to want to be around each other. Especially as saints, seeing how there are not that many of us, He wants us to show brotherhood for the world to see. How can we love if we do not like being around one another? So, rejoice in The Lord and be glad! David declared to exalt His Name TOGETHER! We can not get everything we need spiritually from technology and being alone. There is something about laying yourself at His Feet in His Temple and edification from others that we all need to make it through and be renewed. So, enjoy worship today COLLECTIVELY. *smiles*
