All of our lives have a particular trajectory we are following. Satan wants us to view our lives in isolation, as disconnected from any path. But we know that our life is a trajectory. Everything we are doing is creating the persons we are becoming. In the Psalms, the biblical image of the Hebrew people journeying to the house of worship and rejoicing that it was the day to meet Yahweh really speaks of the defining character of that corporate trajectory. That course was grounded in adoration and praise.
Every life is a trajectory. On this Lord’s Day, the Lord has brought you to this gathering to know Him through Word and Sacrament. Let us become the people God is conforming us to be and let us begin by responding to His goodness in Spirit and truth as we receive His call to worship.
