Randall has been getting me thinking about worship. We talked about it briefly yesterday am at Gate Crashers. So in a few of the off moments I had during my day yesterday I jotted down some thoughts.
Today we talked of how:
God wants our worship
Not just a show
Not just a song
Or dance
Or any of our submissive gestures
Or sacrifices we bring to him like:
– self denial
– nice looking lives
– regular church attendance
– our tithes
If they are just a way to show how good we are.
They just aren’t enough to be worship
No They are not nearly enough.
He wants the centre,
The parts I’ve reserved for myself;
My motives, my time.
He wants me to see Himself
In every person I treat today
In my children needing discipline
In my spouse needing consideration
In my employees needing appreciation
In my family needing my time and my love.
Each act, each thought, each word, lifted to him
My worship for the day.
