Yesterday we learned that genuine worship is more concerned with giving than receiving. There is one more characteristic of genuine worship: It changes you.
“Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.” —Matthew 2:12
If you go home from worship the same way you came, you didn’t really worship. The whole purpose of worship is to connect with God, which is exactly what happened with the wise men. Their worship resulted in a divine encounter that changed their plans. Too often, when we “worship,” we go home no different than when we came. We still carry with us the worries we should have given to Jesus, we hold onto grudges and unforgiveness, we stumble over the same bad habits, we remain glued to our phones instead of tuned in to Jesus.
Worship turns the focus from ourselves to God, and when that happens, we cannot go home the way we came.
