Yer, I'll have a McBlog to go please, easy on the Awesome-Bashing
Of late, I've been finding worship and Christian life a little confusing/unsettling...
Here's my hypothesis...
If God is the everything in the universe, where does my worship fit in?
With the hinderence of perspective and the fact that each of us lives in our heads - worship can only be about us and can only draw out of our experiences thus making our worship person-centric.
Here's a thoguht pattern to a Ben prayer session:
- God, You're right big n that
- God, ta for my salvation and sorry for my sins
- God, grant me provision
- God thank you for the gifts you've given me
- *random God-centered thoughts on life*
Now, virtually all of that is centered around MY experiences with God or towads MY needs. Is it that I'm selfish and apply God to me as a priority - or is it a human trait to prayer?
My confusion/unsettledness stems from this: I don't want to be the centre of worship. I don't want my worship to be tainted by the blob of Ben that is me. I want God to be in all in my worship rather than the ultimate point of my worship.
(I can taste oregano in my mouth - I think it must amplify in flavour when caseroled - yuk)
I don't know if somewhere in the last few months my worship `pattern` has changed or if I've only just become aware of this, but much as God cares for me and wants to hear about my life n all that jazz, I'm tired of talking to Him about me. t must be like a call centre rep going to the managing director of Norwich Union for a new pencil... well, sort of.
Perhaps all you insightful ladels and lentilmen *snigger* could assure me I'm only being a spanner or if there's a cool worship paradigm of which I'm not yet aware, but that ends my bloggy blog.
Say good night to the nice people, roughage man... good night

My advice? Always add oregano sparingly- it can be over powering...

You are an individual. God created you that way. I'm sure he wants to hear about you.

can still taste oregano that's mental!
Carl: indeed, perhaps I'm just going through a phase where i don't see myself as important enough to be included in worship. but I don't doubt that God cares about my rambles.
