God's Message for Each Day

WORSHIP WITH JOY
When they said, “Let’s go to the house of GOD,” my heart leaped for joy.
PSALM 122:1, THE MESSAGE
Even in a time when church attendance is not considered to be on the upswing in the United States, the numbers are impressive. There are more people at worship on any given Sunday, for instance, than are at all the football games or on the golf links or fishing or taking walks in the woods. Worship is the single most popular act in this land.
So when we hear the psalmist say, “When they said, ‘Let’s go to the house of GOD,’ my heart leaped for joy,” we are not listening to the phony enthusiasm of a propagandist drumming up business for worship; we are witnessing what is typical of most Christians in most places at most times.
A LONG OBEDIENCE
