After coming home from the store w/ bags, & the paper handles breaking and one paper sack totally giving out, exausted, frustrated, Thank God I was almost home, though I was ---not calm. When I get inside my apt. I know I need to chill , sit, listen to worship.
I do just that stop everything, turn a worship cd on & sit. A few deep breaths, lots of singing along, personalizeing who I'm singing to, who I'm worshiping, letting my hearts cries be transitioned in my voice singing worship to my God, Jesus, the Deity of Life, the governing power of my life--of His 'investment'! A song I love comes on 'To worship you I live-I live to worship you--Nothing Else Matters!'-------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS WHAT MATTERS-nothing else--JUST HIM--.
How my soul, my heart take comfort & refuge in this revelation.
Suddenly my focus is consumed with my first love---Jesus!---------& why I fell in love with him, this is the reason for life---to worship the King of Glory, the Prince of Peace & giver of Life---True Life!
A scene that always enters my mind concerning worship is from Rev. 21:1-8 I love how all, the elders fell on their faces and cried with a loud voice, HOLY HOLY HOLY!--- This is the meaning of worship. We are allowed to worship the King Of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Alpha & Omega, the GREAT GOD!!!! The All Consuming Fire.
Jesus said you are in the world but we are not to be of the world & its ways, & knowing that relates to thoughts, perceptions, etc.
There is nothing of this world that is like nor can match our God.
God-Jesus-the Holy Spirit is not any thing of this world--He Is Supreme Royalty-- fully deserving our breath our worship, our lives. our focus & total concentration.
How important, neccessary & streathening to our souls to find a time to stop whatever your doing, focus on God. As Aaron burned incense in the temple continuously to prepare it for Gods Spirit, we must prepare our temples,(bodys), with the incense of worship, true cries of our hearts rejoicing before our God.
Exodus 15:1 KJV Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and the rider hath he thrown into the sea. 2 The Lord is my strenth and song; and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; My father's God,and I will exalt him; 3 The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name.
Praise His Name 4-ever,
Marcella
