Why we Worship

PSALM 47

Clap your hands, all peoples!
  Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared,
  a great king over all the earth.
He subdued peoples under us,
  and nations under our feet.
He chose our heritage for us,
  the pride of Jacob whom he loves.

God has gone up with a shout,
  the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises!
  Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King of all the earth;
  sing praises with a psalm!

Why Sing?

God reigns over the nations;
  God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather
  as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
  he is highly exalted!

Purpose: | When we first encounter the church in Acts 1, they are praying continuously. God is pleased when his people pray. This service of worship is designed to foster that attitude.

Commentary: |

    The Puritan giant John Owen in 1681 said that prayer...."is the only duty wherein every grace is acted, every sin opposed, every good thing obtained, and the whole of our obedience in every instance of it is concerned.  "What difficulties lie in the way of its due performance," he says, everybody who has tried it knows. "Discouragements arise, our "corrupted nature" reviles against it. "Yet," he says, "doth the blessedness of our present and future condition much depend thereon."
    Jesus told his sleeping disciples the night he was betrayed that they needed to pray so that they would not fall prey to temptation.  Can we need those words any less in our day?
