Worship Is like... blinking

Isn't it funny how we humans often go to great lengths to create significance while overlooking what truly matters?

We often seek something to admire and commit ourselves to. To honor our commitment, we tend to exaggerate its importance, making things more complex than necessary.

Ironically, this happens with worship itself. We start worshiping the act of worship. We study it, hold conferences, and write books and newsletters on it (wink, wink). None of this is inherently wrong.

Yet, in making a grand spectacle of worship, we sometimes forget its simplicity. If worship is a response to seeing God (or something magnificent), all we need to do is look at what we worship.

Consider the sun.

When we look at the sun, we blink or squint involuntarily due to its intensity. We don't need conferences or books on blinking; it's a natural reaction—a normal response.

So many people spend so much time and effort trying to learn how to worship, what the Hebrew and Greek words mean - there is so much to understand - and yet I wonder if all the complexities and questions we have surrounding worship could be resolved by merely looking at the Son.

Worship starts with seeing Him.

When we gaze upon Jesus and see Him as He truly is, our only response is worship.

Worship is like blinking.

Just look up.
