Worship Gathering

I am wondering how this day is preparing me to meet with God this Sunday?  It is difficult because God is with me today.  He is here.  Yet, I know that there is something that God does when we meet together.  I am a die hard New England Patriot Fan.  (Yes, this is a rough week for me.)  I am a fan everyday, but there is something special that happens as friends gather together to watch a game.  It is somewhat the same and a lot different. 

If what happens when we gather can happen when we don't gather, then why gather?  Why would God call us to meet together?  Why would He promise to show up in powerful ways? 

Yes, God is with me today!  Yes, God wants to meet with His people as we gather together.  I don't have to wait to communion with God.  While at the same time I anticipate the gathering!
