The Euro Cup and Worship
I have been watching some of the Euro Cup of late and the TV promo caught my attention. The clip highlights the passion of the fans for various teams. To pulsating background music images of the costumes, body paint, anthems, cheers, banners, dancing in the streets for the winners, and unashamed tears for the losers, flash across the screen. A gripping chronicle of people at worship.
We are wondrously and dangerously made because we will worship that which holds our deepest passions. I have no quarrel with the fans devotion to their teams, I’ve been known to wear orange, scream out of character, and react with joy or depression depending on the outcome of the struggle. But watching the video clip raises the question in my mind...do I worship my Creator with that much passion and abandon. Why or why not? What does my answer say about my deepest passion? What would happen to me if I did worship Him that way?
I wonder...?
