Along the way, one of the trio vanished and was presumed dead. But finally, with the help of Russian icebreakers, the whales Putu and Siku swam to freedom. In a way, worship is a string of breathing holes the Lord provides his people. Battered and bruised in a world frozen over with greed, selfishness, and hatred, we rise for air in church, a place to breathe again, to be loved and encouraged, until that day when the Lord forever shatters the ice cap. If we fail to worship God on Sunday we will not be energized to face the difficulties ahead.
True worship provides nourishment for the mind, body and soul.
The nourishment we receive is provided when we surrender our wills to God s purpose and it results in strong desire to seek God s purpose for our lives. When we submit ourselves to the nature of God, we discover a renewal in our lives that no other source can provide. The first full day of Adam s life was the seventh day of creation. It was the day that God stopped to rest and reflect upon his creation. Undoubtedly it was a day that Adam spent considerable time reflecting upon God s purpose for his life in the scheme of creation.
