Where has worship gone?

[HelenaZF]

I think this is a place where that word "intentional" is applicable.



If we don't purpose to spend that time basking and waiting in His presence, it isn't just going to come upon us as a delightful surprise.



That kind of relationship takes effort, and planning and prioritizing. And you have to decide to do all those things. So I guess the question is, why isn't it a priority? Or a more frequent one?



Does it possibly have to do with the loss of our first love? We all know the heady emotions of a new love...the longing to be with the object of our affections every possible minute. We scheme and plan and move heaven and earth to spend that time together. And weren't we like this at the beginning of our life with the Lord? Those times of fervent corporate worship with others just as infatuated with Jesus as we are can be exponentially more intense than our alone times because we are experiencing His love as a Body.



But mmitch is right that those corporate times seem to be less frequent now...at least in the reports of them.
