I know I blogged on this same subject last time, but this is really on my heart lately. Someone brought up this song today, and I love it!!! This video is so powerful too.
We seem to take for granted that we have the freedom to worship our God anyway we want, anywhere we want, anytime we want. But yet we still seem to hide Him away. Yeah, we'll go to church and sing and dance and cry a few tears...but then we leave the building, and before we even get out of the parking lot we're yelling at the kids, or arguing with the husband, or complaining about traffic, or hating having to go to work. We get to work, and we are a completely different person, forgetting all about that amazing worship service we were part of....we go home, and we forget about praising Him anyways....until we go back to church on Wednesday. Then we praise our guts out again....until we leave the building again, and its starts all over again. Why can't we continue to praise Him through out our day no matter what happens? Or let me change that.....why can't I continue to praise Him throughout the day? Why can I worship Him with everything I have at church or in the car....but when it comes to my regular life I can't seem to get it right??? I want to REMEMBER to thank Him anyways, to love on Him anyways, to sing to Him anyways...no matter what my circumstances look like. That's what we were MADE to do!!!
I have been working for a while with a group of amazing kids at church called Celebration Kidz. Again, if you had asked me 5 years ago if this is the ministry I would be involved in, I would have said no. But God had it planned all along!! He has to remind me of that occasionally too....this morning in church there was a new person singing on the praise team, and for a second my flesh was so jealous, I could feel that spirit coming over me. I wanted to be singing. But God quicken in my spirit....do you forget so quickly? How amazing was your praise and worship time with those kids just 5 minutes ago? That is where I have called you to be. That is what you are supposed to be doing. You are using all your talents for my glory with these kids. That is what you were made to do right now.....and He is so right! I love being with those kids....I am in awe of them every time we meet. So this week I ask for your prayers for Celebration Kidz. They have learned so much in the last few weeks....and starting Sunday, they get to put it to use. We are having our Kidz Krusade at church, and they will be the praise team for the entire week. I just want them to be as free in service as they are in practice. You can see the love for God on their little faces...and I want everyone to see that!!! So help me pray for calm, confident spirits for each of these children....that they can show the love of Jesus to all of our church family and any visitors through their praise and worship of our amazing God!!!!
