Wonder: Worship Around the World

This morning I loved worshiping with sisters and brothers from the Pacific Islands.

Island beats.  Clapping and rhythm.  Arms raised.I have the most amazing calling and responsibility:  to love and encourage our ministry staff around the world.  That means I get to visit with them—often at conferences and gatherings.  And almost always there are times of worship.  Styles and languages vary.  Sometimes I recognize the music though I can’t understand their words.  Other times it is all unfamiliar but oh so beautiful.

It surely is a glimpse of heaven as every nation and tribe and tongue come together to lift our voices praising the Lamb, filled with the Spirit, glorifying the Father.

So come rejoice with me at the Wonder of Worship around the world:

What about you?  Describe a special worship experience you have had.
