Worship is not a performance. It never has been and shouldn’t be. My heart is grieved when I see people not engaged in worship at all. But how could you not extravagantly worship the King of kings and Lord of lords? How could you not extravagantly worship the One who is the reason you have breath in your lungs at this very moment? How could you not extravagantly worship the One who put the stars in the sky and knows them each by name? How could you not?
I believe it breaks Jesus’ heart to see people not worshipping extravagantly. He was beaten, torn, and persecuted for us. Jesus died the most humiliating death so that we could come boldly to the throne to worship Him. He is the reason we can worship confidently, so for us to not worship extravagantly really hurts Him. Extravagance isn’t just extra, it’s necessary.
