WOWAW 12: ‘Creation rhythms get inside us through the act of worship’
This week’s Words Of Wisdom About Worship:
Creation rhythms get inside us through the act of worship in place and time. Worship is the primary means by which we immerse ourselves in the rhythms and stories of God’s work, get a feel for proper work, creation work. ... When we walk out of the place of worship we walk with fresh, recognizing eyes and a re-created, obedient heart into the world in which we are God’s image participating in God’s creation work. Everything we see, touch, feel, and taste carries within it the rhythms of “And God said ... and it was so ... and it was good ....” We become adept at discerning the Jesus-signs and picking up on the Jesus-words that reveal the presence and the glory. We are more deeply at home in the creation than ever.
