Our worship as Christians is intended to be contagious. In Jeremiah 17:26-27, God is explaining to His people what their world would be like if they kept the Sabbath and worshiped Him with their whole being. God says:
And people shall come from the cities of Judah and the places around Jerusalem… bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices,… and bringing thank offerings to the house of the LORD.
Part of Judah’s problem at this point in history was their failure to worship God with the rhythm of their daily lives. If they had kept the Sabbath, notice the promised result-the attraction of surrounding nations.
Our worship should be no different. May we be an attraction to the rest of the world through lives dedicated to the worship of God.
