Discipline of Worship




My memories of worship are precious. So many times I have seen God's plan clearly right then and there as I praised Him. And the other times I have gotten a overwhelming sense of peace and contentment with not knowing what He wants for me. I repeatedly recognize my own sin, gaps in my life, and especially my great love for Jesus Christ! It is so easy to go through the week not worshiping God! I have found that even a devotional time in the morning can be fleeting if I don't make a daily commitment to worship God. I don't necessarily mean turning on the music and dancing around (although that is a wonderful experience) what I am saying is to worship in your actions. In your speech, and even thinking about the indescribable God we serve! It is indeed eye opening when I stop just reading the Bible. When I stop just going to church. When I do it because I am fascinated with this HUGE God who cares so much for us!




It is SO much more than something that comes along with the package Sunday brings!


It takes true discipline to remember what we are doing on Sunday!




"Every woman who calls herself a Christian must understand that worship is the ultimate priority of her life. Worship is what God wants from you and from me----every day."



Are we praising Him everyday? Even when terrible things happen to us? When something really important to us suddenly diminishes are we willing to sit down and praise Him?

Well, I have to admit, i am freshly challenged. Being as sick as I have been this past week, it has been easy to skip worshipping God daily. Thank you for reminding me that I need to be thinking of Him and His goodness to me ESPECIALLY in times of selfishness and my own pity party. Funny, I always forget to invite Him....
