Psalm 40:6
What type of church do you prefer? Some people feel more comfortable in a highly structured worship service, others prefer less formality.
Over the years I’ve participated in all types of church services and the thing I’ve discovered is that God is able to penetrate the mind and speak to the heart in all different types of services. In other words, God doesn’t require that we have a contemporary service, a southern gospel music service or a liturgical service.
What God does require, regardless of the type of service we prefer to attend, is that we allow him to open our ears so he can speak to us. Sacrifice and offering you do not desire, but you have given me an open ear
Heavenly Father, too often we forget that when we come into your presence we don't need to "set the mood" with a certain type of music or way of worship. It seems to many times we let our preferences interfere with what it is all about--which is to receive a fresh touch from you and to hear your still small voice speaking comfort in the midst of our troubles, confronting us with our sins and challenging us to press forward. When we come before you, remind us to "clean out our ears" so that we can hear, for that is all that really matters. In Jesus Name, AMEN
