When we were younger, my wife, Sue, liked to just take a different road to see where it might lead. This was before we had children or much formal responsibility. Now days we need to plan more carefully. Who will take care of our responsibilities if we are gone from our work? Are there rest stops on the road we are taking? Are there places to eat that meet our health needs? Who will be worried or inconvenienced if we are late? We both still like adventures, but they cannot be quite as spontaneous as they were in our younger years. Even in Sunday worship I am delighted when something happens that is a spontaneous blessing. However, blessings also come when there is good planning for worship. Spiritually sensitive planning can result in blessing. God can work with us in both spontaneous and structured ways. If the Spirit guides our plans, and we are willing to respond to the Spirit moving in our midst at any given time, then we have the best of both worlds. At its best, then every Sunday morning can be an adventure in worship. “O come let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our maker.” O Lord, open our lives to the adventure in worship that you have for us this Sunday morning.
