Here's an independent observation. I caught a glimmer of this as I was writing the earlier posts. It's a little more clear now so I'll try to put it into words. If it's true, there's at least one passage from scripture to go with this...
We tackle life with a hunger to learn more about God and His story in church and out of church ...
As we see and hear and interact with God, living and learning, we can't help but praise Him - (revelation, wonder, awe, praise. . .) We worship Him.
I believe that real worship and loving God with all our heart and mind and soul inevitably overflows to those around us, not as love in the form of Victorian sentimentality but love as a willingness to give and lay down our lives - to live the way Jesus did . . .
We worship, we give, we open up our hearts and minds and lives to hear and see and learn more from or about the Living God and His story through His Word, through all that He's created and in whatever form He wants to use to teach us.
We respond with more wonder, awe, praise, worship . . . because our God is a great and wonderful God and we want more of Him . . .
See the pattern? Too simple? Is it selfish? Super-spiritual? Or is that what humility and childlike faith is all about . . . always watching and listening and learning and believing and saying thank you . . . God is amazing!! "Lord, You're amazing!"
