Anticipation in Worship

I have for many years enjoyed reading A.W. Tozer’s books and sermons. Let us meditate on the quote below and as we go meet with the Church tomorrow (Sunday) please let the anticipation of meeting with Him and the saints bring us a feeling of anticipation and all we can bring to it and receive from it.

Tozer from “God Tells the Man Who Cares” Pages 168,170
"One characteristic that marks the average church today is lack of anticipation. Christians when they meet do not expect anything unusual to happen; consequently only the usual happens, and that usual is as predictable as the setting of the sun... We need today a fresh spirit of anticipation that springs out of the promises of God. We must declare war on the mood of nonexpectation, and come together with childlike faith. Only then can we know again the beauty and wonder of the Lord's presence among us."
Amen!
