Worship Matters 21-22

    In these two chapters, Bob started to illustrate to readers more about how to form a mutual balanced healthy relationship with God and how to apply it during and outside worship. First, he stressed about how we should form our strong faith and internalize our trust and love for God from the bottom of our hearts, which is being called as the internal way of worship. Then as the external, it can be demonstrated in various ways that can be unique to ourselves, as long as it means something between you and the Lord. Once we reach the balanced state, we can extend it into horizontal and vertical worship. In other sense, we need to understand God's words and be thankful for his work. Meanwhile, to reach the goal of a worship service is to connect others through glorifying God's glory.

    I think the way Bob separate these ideas into different directions is very cool. Because it made me feel easier to figure out the steps to prepare for worship. Not just music, but to reach the best mind set as possible. Of all the powerful things and miracles I've seen, people had always been faithful and crave for God in their lives. So, I believe the way Bob analyses the mindset of worship is definitely helpful when we try to bring the presence of the Lord to everyone.
