I have trouble with that concept these days. In fact, worship was always vague as a feeling. Makes me think of the morbidity of 'fear the Lord'.
I had a revelation that Recognition is more appropriate; that Creation is what it is, no way to understand it completely.
There are principles of 'operation' that we must live in harmony with, which could be called 'the Law of God'.
It's simplicity, really. We plant a seed of corn, we get corn, not beans. Process is rational.
Another way I have been fond of expressing it is that if I were to jump off a tall building and break my neck, I can't blame God, but must blame my own refusal to recognize how things work here, where I am.
The exception I have learned lately is that there are other realities with different principles. I don't know how to use them, and until I do, if ever, I act within what I do know. Impeccability is to not take anything fo granted, eh?Hawkeye and Crow
