I am so overwhelmed by the love of the Lord. I know what the prophet Jeremiah meant when he said, “It’s like fire shut up in my bones” (Jeremiah 20:9). I just know that what I am feeling on the inside has to be showing up on the outside. There is no explaining worship. It just is. And, here’s the thing…It is in our walk, it is in our talk, it is in our work, and it is in our living. It is even in those things that cause us the most grief. Worship is not only when we are in church with other saints. Worship is an everyday act of honoring God. 

Worship is thanking God for allowing everything we go through to have a purpose. It’s knowing that even though it is sometimes painful…we can still praise God right in the midst of our pain. I heard a preacher say once that our trials…our burdens don’t always come from the enemy. Sometimes, we are praying that God removes the thing He designed to keep us humble. 

I believe that our greatest opposition, trial, or burden, reminds us that no matter how successful we become, or how talented we may be…we can do nothing without God. He is the Creator and the Sustainer of everything that is anything. He is our Rock and our Fortress. He is the One and Only True and Living God. He is our Provider, our Healer, and the Lifter of our heads. He deserves our worship, and He deserves our praise. He is all these things and so much more.

And, every now and then, I think we should stop and just tell Him so.

Until next time…

Be blessed
