DEVOTION: Worship Works...It's About the Atmosphere

Worship Works: It’s all About the Atmosphere!
Devotion by MIT Robert Goodwin; Edited by Bishop Dudley

Psalm 100 Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the Lord Himself is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name. For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness to all generations.

Marvin Sapp wrote a song called “Rivers Flow”..he sings, “I’ve got a Well of worship inside of me!”, “From my belly, Flows a Well that’s springing of living water…worship inside of me.”, “Flow, Flow…Worship inside of me.”….. How appropriate the song considering the human body is composed of nearly 70% water. It is somewhere within, from the Crown of our head to the Soles of our feet. We raise our arms in praise to our Lord, with our feet we dance in the spirit and with the fruit of our lips we worship and bless his Holy name. Last Sunday at the 8:30 am service, Lady Dudley profoundly stated, “Praise is what we do, Worship is who we are!” The atmosphere was already stirred with Rivers flowing in praise and worship. Then came the Word that went forth and did not return void and accomplished a purpose for every witness that came to the altar. The more you praise God and the more you worship God, his Spirit of joy and gladness wells up inside of you. The abundance of God’s grace and mercy- pressed down, shaken together and running over.. tears began to flow out of you. It’s all about the Atmosphere.
Psalm 95:1-3 O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
