Have you ever really thought about what true worship is? Have you gotten to that place where you are singing the songs, just to sing the songs because that is what you do? Do you think about the words you are singing? Do you see how they apply to your life?
There was a song called “The heart of worship” that used to be one of my favorites songs. And I remember listening to that song and being reminded what “it” is all about. When I am running late, and my kids missed the bus? It’s all about Jesus. When my puppy pees or poops on the floor? It’s still about Jesus. When my child is sick (AGAIN!)? Its all about Jesus. When I am fighting with my husband? When the freezer breaks and we lose a ton of frozen meat and vegetables? It’s STILL all about Jesus. https://youtu.be/kZ29ueTkSWM
It is so easy to get caught up in the stressors of life, and forget to worship our creator. We were created for this! We were created to worship Him, no matter what the circumstances we are facing, we are called to worship. And you know what? When you worship and take your eyes off of your current situation, you move out of God’s way and allow Him to work in the situation, or work in you. Either way God can do what He has to do if we just throw our hands up and sing to Him.
I know it is hard believe me I do. There have been so many sleepless nights in the hospital with my kids, there have been so many nights at home with someone hurting or anxious…. there have been so many nights when I am praying about a way to pay a specific bill, or how I need to buy something that I don’t quite have enough money for.
This world? Overwhelming at times for sure! I have a sweet friend who is facing her child having surgery and my heart just hurts for her, for the stress that she is feeling. I am lifting her up and praying for God to give her the peace that she needs. In my own walk, those days of being anxious for my kids are the most amazing sweet experiences that I have had with my creator. When you finally say ok God he/she is all yours I trust you, the peace He gives changes my whole world. It is so hard to let go and let Him be in control but I promise you that when you do your whole perspective changes.
When your overwhelmed? Worship Him! When your scared and anxious? Worship Him! When you don’t know how you are going to pay for your car repair or your mortgage? Worship Him! When your baby is sick and you can’t figure out what is wrong? Worship Him! Let Him have the situation and let Him fill you with peace while you are walking this journey! I promise you won’t ever regret worshipping Him in the struggles
Beautifully Blessed
