An older sister was sitting next to her little brother in church one Sunday morning, unsuccessfully trying to keep him still and quiet. Finally, she said, “I wish you would calm down.” “I can’t,” he said. “It’s just so boring.” His sister turned and said, “It’s supposed to be boring.”
That girl didn’t get the purpose for being there and neither did her brother. Maybe the whole congregation, including the preacher, didn’t get it. Here is the real meaning of coming into God’s presence.
John 4:23
But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him.
Hebrews 13:15
Through Him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge His name.
Psalm 96:9
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth!
There are no points earned for going to church, nor is it pleasing to God if you are giving Him an hour during which you are bored. However, God is not far away if you see the time spent as fellowship with your Creator.
Give it some thought.
