Worship is the reverent honor and homage paid to God. Throughout the Bible, the idea of worship is brought up 198 times.
At school there is only one time a week in which we worship together. But, instead of taking advantage of the time in which we can join together as a community, many dismiss it and instead think about what they are eating for lunch.
Worship is a time that has countless benefits. Even if you do not like to sing, you have the opportunity to escape from the crazy week and reflect on what God has done. After all, Scripture tells us in Psalm 66:1, “Shout for joy to God, all the earth!”
Worship is not designed to make you uncomfortable or to spotlight on those who are gifted singers, but it is a time for you to thank God for what he has done in your life and to praise him. No one forces you to worship in chapel, but what is holding you back?
At the end of the day, no one cares about how you worship; it is a personal thing between you and God. Although worship is personal, it also becomes an amazing experience, for Matthew 18:20 tells us, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” This is a powerful thing, and together as we experience worship personally we can also experience it in a larger picture, celebrating what God has done for one another.
