Episode Notes:

In this episode of Morning Light, Mike Franklin challenges listeners to rethink worship—not as a feeling or a formality, but as an intentional act of the will. Drawing from 2 Samuel 6, Mike explores how King David worshiped God with reckless abandon as the Ark of the Covenant was brought into Jerusalem, choosing humility, joy, and surrender over dignity and pride. Worship, he explains, is a verb—it requires action, attitude, and a willingness to ascribe worth to God regardless of circumstances. This episode reveals how worship opens the door to joy, God’s presence, spiritual fruitfulness, and even miracles, while the absence of worship can lead to spiritual barrenness. Listeners are encouraged to make worship a daily choice that transforms both heart and life.
