Lately, I have been thinking, a lot, about why we meet together on Sunday mornings for worship. One Sunday, about two weeks ago, I was on my way to church when God put a verse in my mind: Psalm 51:10. Psalm 51:10 is why we join together to worship.
"Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me."
-Psalm 51:10
God wants us to join together and glorify Him through corporate worship. That is not all worship is, though! If it were, worship would be all about us. Worship is not about us! Worship is about God and expecting Him to do greater things among us.
God is expecting to create in us clean hearts and align our spirits with His. Paul tells us, we are to renew our minds daily, but weekly we should gather together and ask God to clean our hearts and renew our spirits! When we come to worship expecting God to create something new in our hearts and spirits, worship becomes about Him, what He has done and wants to do within us!
It doesn't matter whether you are a seeker, new believer, or 50 year veteran of Christianity, Psalm 51:10 is the foundation for corporate worship!
So this week, go to worship expecting God to create something new within you. When you do, God will.

and renew a right spirit within me."
