What is your attitude when you gather for worship on Sunday morning with your fellowship of believers?

Is your heart full of love and joy? Are you excited about the prospect of a glorious morning of worship with those you love?

If I’m honest, my attitude can range from the worst to the best kind of worship experience. My worst happens when I start letting an ‘all about me’ attitude take over. My best happens when I feel the harmony that is evident among these people I’ve grown to love.

But this harmony doesn’t just happen. Our harmony, like any well-written piece of music, happens when each part understands its place. We belong to Him–and we belong to each other.

Paul reminds us in Colossians 3:12-14:

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another… And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”

When unity and harmony come together, and we join in worship, something shifts. The atmosphere changes. Worship was never meant to center on me–it was, and is, always meant to glorify Him.

When God is the focus of worship, everything harmonizes.
