The people who talk about not needing to go to church, but being able to worship God in nature might have a point, although I am suspicious that most of them are just too lazy to get up on Sunday morning and make it to church. There is something about the outside that makes it easier to worship God.
I am noticing this because for the first time in a couple weeks, I’ve been able to be out on the porch as the sun is still just a distance threat. The sky is overcast, so there are no stars to see, but I can see across the valley lights on the other hills and the distant illumination of the cities around me. There is also that expansive sense of something bigger than me. It’s hard to get that sitting in an enclosed room, even with the window open.
So if you get a chance, worship outside. Or I guess another way of saying it is when you’re outside pause, look up, contemplate the grandeur that surrounds you and worship.

God is so amazing! He is revealed all around us and I am thrilled to worship Him while in nature (Psalm 8), but I agree with you that I suspect most who don’t attend church are either lazy or don’t want to be brought to the next step of being confronted with His Word. Anyway, I feel one should lead to the other (Hebrews 10:24-25). Thanks for all your insight!
ReplyDeleteAs I have said in different venues, there are many days when I do not want to go to church but there are few days when I am not glad I went.
