We’ve been learning new dimensions in worship lately. The reminder that worship is not “for us” but “for God” has been helpful. I find that I need regular reminders about that. I have found that true God Centered worship was intended to be spread across the sensory spectrum. God not only wants to be heard, he wants to be felt, smelled, seen and tasted. It has been cleverly stated that true worship of God “Makes Sense”. Leonard Sweet writes that the “eye gate” and the “ear gate” are no longer enough. Truth is for the whole body. Statistically, 65 % of communication is received through channels other than words. We really are creatures of habit. It takes an awakening of the other senses to get us to the next level in our relationship with God. Go for the higher ground this fall.
“Lord, Lift me up and let me stand
By faith on Heaven’s table land
A higher plane that I have found
Lord plant my feet on higher ground”
Press toward the mark.
