I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Psalm 27:13 [NIV]
This is one of my favourite scriptures, and I think that it describes the act of worship really well.
The worship leader Graham Kendrick says that ”the core dynamic of Christian worship is revelation followed by response” (from Worship Central article found here). I read the passage from Psalm 27 as someone who is in a situation that, in the natural, doesn’t seem good (whether it be enemies attacking, sickness, poverty, relationship troubles etc), but they have met Jesus in worship and the only response they can have is “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living“.
So as you are worshipping let the Lord show you who He is and how much He loves you, and you’ll find that He is far bigger and stronger than anything that can come against you (Romans 8:31). Our worshipful response to revelation about Jesus, is awe, love, and confidence.
