Idle Songs Series

What is your motivation for singing worship songs? Do you even sing? Do you focus on the words that are sung no matter the style of music? I could list several reasons as to why we should worship the Lord with song on a regular basis, but Amos would want me to share only one: “He is worth it.” May humbleness before God start our worship and fill our worship in the middle and end our worship! We give to show Him how much He is worth and it is just and right and humble to do so.

Lastly, and I have to include this because Amos does, do we prepare our hearts for worship?

I could list several reasons as to why we should prepare ourselves for worship on a regular basis, but Amos would want me to share only one… can you guess… “He is worth it.”

* We can prepare ourselves through prayer

* We can prepare ourselves by setting aside any activities that get in the way of worship

* We can prepare by setting alarms or getting out clothes the night before to be ready

CONCLUSION

The Prophet Amos says to the People of God in Amos 5…

RE-READ Amos 5:21-24 (ESV)

“I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. 22 Even though you offer Me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of your fattened animals, I will not look upon them. 23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. 24 But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”

Let’s not let those words apply to us.
