The thought from above for this episode is: we are wired for worship. In this episode James Bryan smith unpacks a sermon from his long time friend John Ortberg. Smith explains that we have become so jaded to the joys and wonders of our life that we have nearly lost the capacity to say wow. So many of us live as if God has not done anything for us today. This kind of thinking will never help us. It is not what we were designed for.

Deep inside of our souls we are longing for that which naturally lead us to say, wow, which is to say, will lead us to worship. Smith goes on to explain that because our joy naturally overflows into praise we are wired for worship. To watch the sermon by John Ortberg click this link.
