“I know only enough of God to want to worship him, by any means ready to hand.” Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm
Today I have music. And I have this body, this life. I have his broken body and shed blood, represented by wine and bread. Today I have a community of people to sing with, to pray with, to weep with, to dine with, to learn with - most of whom I have never met and may never see again. Today I have just enough knowledge of him to want to worship him, and it is my duty and delight to use every resource available to me to offer this sacrifice. I am broken and humbled, messy and distracted, guilty and redeemed. I am a worshiper and a follower of Jesus Christ. Today I have grace and I have knowledge and I have love and I have breath and I have daily bread, daily wine. I have hope. These are the “means ready to hand.” And with these hands I will worship. Today.
