thirsting soul.

A few days ago I heard a worship leader say, “To a certain degree worship is about entertaining the people in the service.”

Wrong. Dead wrong. 

Read this and tell me what part of the presence of God is about your entertainment:

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said:       

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”

  And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” 

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” 

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” 
(Isaiah 6:1-8 ESV)

If you say that worship is in any sense about entertainment your song is ‘me, me, me’ while the heavenly hosts say ‘Him, Him, Him… Holy, Holy, Holy.’
