Late To Worship

 Sunday mornings can be a hectic time. Little ones to get out of bed. Clothes to be put on (and then taken off and others put on). Get breakfast, get your Bible, and get in the car, We ARE LATE. It’s a miracle we ever make it on time. Yet, that isn’t the late I’m talking about.

  You see if we get to worship and the first time we thought to pray is the opening prayer, we’re late to worship. If the song is the first time we thought to praise God, we’ve been tardy. If our giving is just remembered as the plate is being passed we are somewhat overdue.

  We worship on the first day of the week but we often confuse it for the last day. I’m not just talking about how we structure our calendars. I’m thinking of how worship is often tacked on to the end of our lives instead of being first and foremost. We can’t get to it because so many other things come before.

  If we begin with the things of God first, the rest of life has a way of fitting in but if we try to cram God in at the end, we never seem to find the room.

   Don’t delay worship. Don’t run behind in our commitment to The Lord. Our time is the most important and easiest to waste resource we have. Make sure we are giving to God.

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Matthew 6:33
