Growing in Wisdom Through Worship?

WL asked about how we think we can acquire wisdom since the topic that night was about the Character of Wisdom. I was sharing with them that for me, worshipping God in songs helps me in a very intangible way, which was difficult for me to explain then since I had not given much thought to it. N asked too, in what way can wisdom be acquired when I am worshipping God. So... I decided to think about it and came up with a somewhat logical explanation for those who need tangible evidence.

Everyone knows the power of prayer. Prayer is simply conversing with God, either thanking Him, interceding for others, or asking for something from Him. And God answers prayers. Christian songs, even the most contemporary ones have this aspect of communing and communicating with God. Praying using the word of God leads to more powerful prayers since we are praying according to the will of God. And many christian songs have their content from the word of God. That is for the lyrics of the songs.

In the secular music world, even music can touch, move and soothe the soul. Can you imagine a composer who comes up with a tune for a christian song? Surely God's anointing power will fall upon him/her and carry that anointing through the song. I don't know if that is biblical, but i do think there is a reason why so many christian songs sound nicer than so many secular songs. That is my take.

So, worshipping God is deliberately coming into His presence to commune with Him, and with the additional component of the anointed tune that moves the soul, as well as having to flow with the momentum of the song helps us to be consumed by the presence of God. Since through prayers, we grow to know the heart of God and that gives wisdom, being in a setting like worship has only more value to add to the experience of God and the acquisition of wisdom.

I am not quite sure if the point is clear but that's the best I can do to explain why I think worshipping God changes me for the better.

Suddenly, something came to mind. I always remember what Pastor said, that there is always room for emotions, but being emotional is another thing. Basically, he is telling us to be balanced. For some conservatives, they believe that the worship of God should be dignified and proper; at the other extreme, some believe that emotions count for everything, that if you are not emotional, then there is something wrong with your fellowship with God. I believe there is a time and place for everything. :)
