What's happening in our hearts when we are gathered together in the House of the Lord?
"Do
not trust in deceptive words and say, “This is the temple of the Lord,
the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord!”... Has this house,
which bears My Name, become a den of robbers to you? But I have been
watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:4,11).
Jeremiah
spoke to the people of his own day. He speaks to us as well. Don't let
the place where you worship become more important than it really is.
This is what he says to us. These are not only the words of Jeremiah.
This is the Word of the Lord. What's happening in our hearts when we
are gathered together in the House of the Lord? Are we thinking to
ourselves, "I never miss a church service - not like those who've
stopped coming to church"? What kind of "worship" is this? Lord, take
us to the heart of worship. Give us a worshipping heart.
