Over the past few months the Lord has just been showing me how much I need to rely on Him. He has been stripping me of all the things that have no place in my life and making Him the number one focus in my life. I have been reading Ecclesiastes and if you have read it before it says basically everything in life besides Jesus is vanity. That really convicted me and just showed where my heart has been. My heart hasn't been totally devoted to the Lord but now is the time to change that. It has changed everything about my walk. The way I interact with people, my conversations, my devotions, and even the way I worship. The Lord is worthy of all praise...worship isn't supposed to be reserved just for Sunday mornings...it's every day of the week. Don't be ashamed of raising your hands to the Lord and just worshipping Him with all your heart. Even if it's in public...if people catch you in the act don't be ashamed...invite them to worship with you. It becomes that much more sweet. Hebrews 12:28-29 says "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for out God is a consuming fire." (ESV) The Lord wants us to worship Him and he deserves it. Are you able to do that? Is your heart in a place of reverence and awe? I hope that it is and if it isn't pray that the Lord will give you a heart of worship. When you worship God it is like nothing else. With that I wanted to share a song with you that has really spoken to me lately. It was written by Chris Tomlin and sung by Christ Nockles. It's called Waiting Here for You. Just sit back and worship.
