PSALMS OF ASCENT: Worship Psalm 122
What are we doing here? Have you ever stopped to think about that? I don't mean the existential question of: what are we doing here on this little blue ball that we call earth? I'm not asking about the purpose of life or anything all that deep. I'm simply asking, what are we doing HERE? At this moment in time, for this hour and fifteen minutes on a Sunday morning. My guess is you got up---you either set your alarm to get up or someone woke you up. You woke up, brewed some coffee, went downstairs, ate some breakfast. If you have kids in tow, you tried to force them to eat, which didn't go all that well. You tried to force them into the car. If you're like me and have a three-year-old, you got your three-year-old into the car and he insisted on buckling himself in, which means you all sat in the car for five minutes waiting for him to buckle himself in. You got here and, if you've got kids, you went to check them in and you encountered a system that we haven't quite worked all of the bugs out of yet. I promise, we will and it's going to be awesome when we do. You went over to the cambros of coffee and you may have squeezed out a half cup of coffee. You came in here, you sat down, and immediately when you sat down I said, "Will you stand up?!" Then we sang some songs. Have you ever noticed that this is the only place where we do something like that?! Throughout your week, there is no other time where you gather together with a bunch of other people and sing songs. This is unique!! Why are we here?? Are we here because we're bored on a Sunday morning and we need something to do? Why are we here? Why do we gather?
