Psalm 21

"Rise, Yahweh, in your power!
We will sing and play in honor of your strength."
Psalm 21:13

When the people of God gather to worship the primary purpose should be to praise God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Worship is a response to God's power, love, justice, and grace. But sometimes our gatherings of worship become stale and lifeless. (I know that I have been a part of some of these and probably even led some of them.) When things become stale in worship it isn't because God has suddenly become boring. It is most likely the case that we have either stopped remembering the power and grace of God in the past and/or we have stopped looking for God's justice and love in the present.
There is some music, both religious and secular, that helps me remember and look for God. I don't completely understand why but I know in those times of dryness when I am in most need of God's power that I can turn to those songs and suddenly I am back to where I need to be praising God for his power and glory.
In fact I think I need to find some music now.
