Return to God

VI. We need to return to God in order to worship and praise.

"Unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God." (Psalm 43:4b)

Biblically, fellowship is more than enjoying the company of another. Fellowship is joining all that you are to another and all that he is to you (synergy). In that synergetic union, worship and praise flows freely as the believer fully understands both the blessing of that union and the reality of what God provides to the fellowship compared to what the believer provides.
