This past Summer I had the privilege of participating in a mission trip to Haiti. On the final day of the trip, our team got to attend a church service in order to dedicate a well that we had installed. At the service we got to listen to a choir of Haitian Christians. It was one of the highlights of the trip. Several of us recorded part of the singing on our phones and we still listen to it from time to time. The funny thing is, though, that we didn’t actually understand a word of what they said. They sang in a style that was not our preferred style and they sang in a language that was not our preferred language. Yet we experienced oneness with those who sang because we knew that they were singing praises to the same God that we worship. When it comes to singing in church, we all have our preferences. Some of us love for the band to be loud and energetic, while others of us like a quiet and acoustic set. Some of us love newer songs, while others of us prefer older hymns. Some of us prefer piano, while others of us like the guitar. It is easy for us to decide that we can only really worship if we find ourselves instinctively connecting with the music. But full appreciation of the music is not a prerequisite to worship. Just as our Haiti team worshiped along with our brothers and sisters in the choir, we all can worship God whether we enjoy the music or not. The reason for this is that worship is focused not on us, but on the God we are worshiping. The passage that this lesson explores is a psalm of worship. The psalmist powerfully invites us all to worship God because of his power, his grace, and his worthiness. The invitation is not focused on method or style of worship, but rather on the great God who is the object of our worship.
