The Joy of Worship Psalm 122:1-9

1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD." 2 Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, 4 Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the LORD. 5 For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. 7 Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces." 8 For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you." 9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good. Psalm 122:1-9

One man rejoices at the prospect of going to the place of worship. It’s not a drudgery, not just a religious duty; it’s a pleasure and a privilege. And yet we know that for many, many people, this attitude is incomprehensible. They take no pleasure in worship; it bores them. They avoid church whenever possible, and if social expectations or family pressure makes it necessary for them to attend, their primary goal is just to make it through the service without falling asleep. They may enjoy the singing; they may listen to the sermon, if the preacher tells enough jokes and stories. But fundamentally, they’d rather be somewhere else, doing something else. Sleeping in; reading the Sunday paper; watching the weekend news shows; playing golf; eating Sunday brunch, puttering in the garden. They have no taste or relish for spiritual things; they

have no zeal for worship; their hearts just aren’t in it. Their bodies may be there, but their thoughts are elsewhere. In other words, they are acting in complete conformity with their essential nature. What Jesus said of the Pharisees is true of them: "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." (Matthew 15:8) The worship of God just doesn’t resonate with them; it doesn’t strike a responsive chord. They are spiritually tone-deaf.
