Choose Joy

Sunday, 7:36 a.m. Glasgow, Scotland

It begins today, in a couple hours we will head NE into the Scottish Highlands.  It is the Sabbath and as is our joy we hope to worship in God’s house today.  Worship is a sacred right, a choice, a command.  We have a right to worship and a Person to worship.  It is one of the greatest gifts and privileges we have, worship.  If one chooses not to participate one is much less than they can be.  Worship is fundamental to being human.  No one can love, see a baby, feel warmth, gaze at the blue sky; truly know themselves, and not feel the desire even the longing to worship.  To deny the desire is false; to deny the act is impoverishing.  It is like denying yourself a great kindness, choosing instead, barrenness.  “Choose joy!” is a command from Whom we worship.  Choose joy.
