| Worship is not part of the Christian life, IT IS THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
Romans 12:1 I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, this is your spiritual act of worship.
Wisdom begins with basing one's life on reality. Wisdom doesn't begin and end with fear; it continues into worship.
When we really understand who God is, the natural response is to offer Him whatever we can get our hands on, and all we have is ourselves.
All of those in the Bible who encountered the living God in His glory fell on their face in worship. Like Isaiah, they would offer themselves Isaiah 6:8 If we have not yet gotten to that point of laying ourselves on the altar before Him, WITHOUT RESERVATION, we have not yet encountered the living God. His glory prompts sacrifice. It is the only wise, intelligent, reasonable response to the magnitude of His goodness.
We often think of worship as words and songs that come out of our mouths. It is so much more. It is a lifestyle, a sacrificial way of living that acknowledges every moment of every day that there is One far more worthy of our allegiance than ourselves. When His interests consistently supercede ours, and we act accordingly, we are worshiping
Imagine yourself in the throne room of God. See the altar at His feet. Get on it. Lay yourself out before Him and say to Him " I AM YOURS. DO WITH ME AS YOU WILL. I GIVE UP MY RIGHT TO GOVERN MYSELF, BECAUSE YOU ARE FAR MORE WORTHY TO DO IT, AND YOU WILL NEVER DO ME HARM. I EXIST FOR YOUR PURPOSES, AND FOR YOURS ALONE. Do this every morning, then live our your day mindful of whose you are. In light of who He is , this is true worship. And true worship is the wisest thing we can do.
I listened to Mike Morrison on way to Barrel Race Saturday, and this caught my attention. wanted to share for thought.
This fallen world, many ask why isn't God helping , if you are a Christian it is KNOWN that when Jesus died on the cross, WE HAVE VICTORY. 1 Corinthians 2:16 WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. The truly wise are those souls are in Christ. That's the problem. We often resort to lesser means of wisdom because unaware that the mind of Christ is accessible, or unable to believe such an extravagant promise. But if we can't believe , we can't have it. The mind of Christ is ours through the Spirit of God, who comes to us only through faith. The Spirit searches the deep things of God and reveal them to His people. Such things are foolish to the world, but they are truth, nonetheless, truth that we can know and base our lives on.
God HAS ALREADY HELPED THIS WORLD, Jesus said " my Spirit lives in you, you have the power of the Holy Spirit through faith.
We must pray for the fallen, the lost, as long as they do not obey God, this world will be what it is. Leaving God out of schools, prayers, public places, denying God, falls right into the hands of the devil, it shows. doesn't it?
FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
HAVE A VERY BLESSED MONDAY, STAY WARM, REACH OUT TO SOMEONE TODAY LET THEM KNOW GOD EXITS IN YOU. PAY IT FORWARD. HUGS TO ALL. GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I!  | |
