Oh God,
How long has it been since I met with you?
How long have I been content to merely talk about you?

This can’t be long, because those are real questions up there, but I wanted to say:

Faith comes by understanding, and understanding comes by the very Rhema of God. And how can we please him, except that we have faith? To please God is the very essence of worship, and how much more obvious can it be that to please Him we must meet with Him? To reach out to the living God, and hear the rhema word.

Worship cannot be mere adulation, merely an activity that I can do on my own. Worship requires that I listen to Him. He speaks to me, and his rhema changes me

How long, Oh Lord,
since I have heard your voice?
How long have I honored you with my lips,
but let my heart wander freely?
Oh Lord, turn back
My heart to you.

Lord bind up my hands, and weigh down my feet,
which are ever seeking, wandering, impatient–
far from rest.
Please hold me still, till I have gazed on you.
