When God raises men out of their graves, He raises the whole man, the mind included. You are to love the Lord your God with all your mind and thanks be to God your mind is no longer dead. It has walked out of the grave with your Lord. Even so, your mind is not yet perfect. It will be prone to wander in this very service. But you must not let it.
You have climbed Mount Zion and have entered the throne room of heaven. There is no place where your mind should be sharper. There is no place where you should be more dialed in. You offer your songs to God and He requires that you do so knowledgeably. You will hear the Lord of Hosts speak to you and He requires you to pay attention, to stay awake. In the presence of Christ on this Mount of Transfiguration, the Father says to you, “This is my beloved Son. Hear Him.”
As we are fond of saying, worship is our warfare and the front lines is no place for a soggy mind.
