Well, I think the same is true about worship. In this text Jesus, the one who made us and knows what life is all about, is telling us that the main thing in life is our relationship with God and worship is where it happens. Here is a little test for you to think about. I don't know if I have ever been in a community as busy as this one. Those are all good things, but the question of today's text asks whether the priority of worship has been squeezed out of our lives, not just by wicked things but even by other good things.
Nothing restores perspective in life as well as worship.
Nothing brings my life back to center stream as well as worship. Worship serves as a compass when I am off course, a gyroscope when I am off balance, and a solid foundation when I am off my rocker. The second lesson in this text points to the purity of worship. Worship is dangerous. When we come to God, we must be very careful that it is not a substitute for, or a cover of, our indifference to the hurts of the world around us.
