There are several outlets to find and listen to your favorite kind of music. Whether you are driving in your car or going to grab a bite to eat, music is often heard in the background. However, I have recently discovered when I go a day or two without listening to worship music, I am not the same person.
Without worship music playing in the background, I tend to lack enthusiasm, motivation and being in tune with the Spirit. In John 15, Jesus talks about being connected to the vine. According to Jesus, apart from the vine, who is Jesus, we can do nothing. Likewise, when you allow yourself to go a period of time without reading God’s Word, praying or listening to worship music, we become nothing.
According to Psalm 150, God created us to worship Him. When we experience worship, not just on Sunday, but 7 days a week, we fulfill God’s purpose for our lives. Since we were all created with different tastes, the style of worship is not important. What is important is that people begin to develop a heart for worship, taking time each day to give thanks for our Creator and Lord.
