An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

We Should All Be Pentecostals

Psalm 150:4 (KJV) Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

(Proverbs 12 also read)

I may have touched on this before.  I won’t know until I look a little deeper into what I’ve written, but for now, as I look at this chapter in Psalms, I see a form of worship that I personally am uncomfortable with.  I see what I would consider a wild and crazy Pentecostal experience.  I picked this verse because in the translation I was reading it had tambourines and dancing.  I have seen Pentecostal services that have this as part of their worship.  I tend to stick my nose up at this and make note of how dignified I am.

Maybe I need to get over that.  This chapter illustrates the joy and enthusiasm that worship needs.  I tend to be more of a Presbyterian when it comes to my worship style.  I’m not sure that’s what God wants all the time, if ever.

So?  Feel free.  Feel free to worship.  Feel free to worship with enthusiasm, adoration and energy.  Based on this Psalm God seems to like that.
