We should be worshiping Christ. One of the most difficult things in life is to be spiritually mature enough to praise God in the storm. But at the same time, it’s during the storms of life that we find we have nothing but God, and too, we realize we need nothing but God. Those darkest times in my life, in spite of my anger at God I still fell on my knees before him, for I didn’t have the legs to stand and walk one more step on my own.
But slowly, there begins to shine light in the darkness and over weeks, months, years the healing happens. God uses those difficult times to shape us, to mold us, to grow us etc — and we eventually find ourselves in a better place. But that’s a scary place…we can get comfortable, complacent, BUSY, distracted, motivated by earthly things and so much more. If you’re anything like me — I forget to make time for God. Sure I intentionally worship him…but how often does it happen only on Sunday mornings in church…all too often!
Worship is manifested in sooo many ways. Really when you break it down — if someone were to ask me “what is worship?” I would say it’s being authentic in our faith every day. Meaning all that we think, do, and say should be pleasing to God.
This past Sunday at church we got to see a special member of our congregation worship God with all that he has and all that he is. This includes challenges…but Michael’s heart is for the Lord and despite his handicap and his struggle with physical/mental brokenness — he loves the Lord — and certainly the Lord loves him. Michael brought many to tears this past Sunday with his beautiful and heartfelt offering to the Lord. What an inspiration and reminder to all of us that we should all be so authentic and full of worship and praise for our Lord…
If Michael can do it — so can we!
