Worship and character

I'm dipping into a daily devotional book by Henry Blackaby at the moment and today's devotion was about worship. This is what Blackaby says:

The quality of our worship is not based on our activities but on our character. Churches can mistakenly assume that the better the music, the more impressive the building, and the more eloquent the preaching, the more worshipful the experience will be. Genuine worship, however, originates from within our hearts. If our relationship with God is not healthy, all these things are nothing more than religious pageantry.

If you are not satisfied with the quality of your worship, don't be too quick to blame your environment. Look first to your own heart.
