O magnify the LORD with me,I always saw this as just a call to worship. But reading it today, it means something different to me. Maybe because it's a Sunday, this other meaning has clicked. But it's not just a call to worship, it's a call to worship together. It's a call to communal worship.
And let us exalt His name together.
Worshiping with others is often significantly different from worshiping alone. Together, we worship in different ways than normally alone. Most people don't sing alone much. Most don't lift their hands when alone. Most feel something more personal, more intimate when alone. Together, we are bringing our commonalities together, and use them to focus our praise to God. Our differences get set aside, so that we can do the thing we're supposed to always do, together.
