Worship and Enjoyment

C. S. Lewis said something like this in his little work on the Psalms: “We praise what we enjoy.”

We are not thankful for what we do not enjoy. We do not praise what we do not enjoy. Some folks do not come to church because they do not enjoy. Some folks feel no compulsion to praise God because they do not enjoy his presence in their lives.

If we would grow in our praise, gratitude, and worship, let us learn the lesson of Paul’s words to the Philippians: Rejoice!
