Psalm 103:1 “Praise the Lord.”
Say what you will, I say that we Lutherans are not known for our unbridled praise. We’re the ones who return from the Lord’s Supper with a frown on our faces as though someone just punched us in the stomach. You can tell we’re cutting loose when we stand for a hymn. Now THAT’S a party.
We can take a lesson from some ‘less restrained’ churches who aren’t afraid to clap, maybe even smile during worship. This Sunday we’ll examine a verse from 2 Samuel that actually records King David DANCING in praise and thanks to the LORD. People would drop like flies if I ever danced during a service. Why? Cultural norms? Traditions? Who cares? At the end of the day it doesn’t matter how we worship, contemporary, traditional, blended, blah, blah, blah. It doesn’t matter what other people think of our praise. What does God think? Is it coming from a heart that is alive with faith?
This Sunday we’ll learn more about our response to God’s goodness.
