It’s not the worship that God wants us to enjoy – it’s him.
Musicians, singers and worship leaders can no more create a worship experience than an evangelist can create a salvation experience. Both worship and salvation are decisions – decisions that only individuals can make. If worship is a decision, then the greatest worship happens when someone who doesn’t like a church’s music or liturgical style prays, “Not my will but yours be done, God – I’ll worship you in spite of it.”
Have you ever wondered how Paul and Silas could sing praises in a Philippian gaol after being stripped, flogged and clamped in the stocks? Or how Jesus could sing a hymn on the eve of his arrest, knowing everything that was about to happen to him?
It was because their worship was not based on what they liked. It was based on who they loved.
