Pitching Our Affections

Worship is an act of the understanding, applying itself to the knowledge of the excellency of God, and actual thoughts of his majesty....

It is also an act of the will,
whereby the soul
adores and reverenceth his majesty,
is ravished with his amiableness,
embraceth his goodness,
enters itself into an intimate communion with this most lovely object,
and pitcheth all his affections upon him.

--Stephen Charnock
