Worship is vain when the heart is not right. The mouth draws us closer and the lips bestow honor to God, but the heart brings legitimacy to worship. We can have the right words to say and arrange them in a linguistic way. We can also design programs, services and traditions that symbolize our acceptance of God but if our heart is not in it, it is empty.
Our heart contains the life of our worship. It carries our conformity to the God we worship. When the heart is right the thoughts, feelings and aspirations are subjected. Our whole human system is deprived of all other influences. The joy of our desire, the clarity of perception, the fervor of our will, the strength of our faith and power of our conscience is lock in and focused on the object of our worship.
When the heart is right in worship we become instruments in tune to be played by the Master through situations and circumstances that come up in our lives. When the heart is right in service we become one with the Master of our destiny taking authority over circumstances.
