Living a Life Style of Worship

After listening to a sermon online from a pastor who I respect a lot, who preaches the Word of God as Truth I started thinking about my life and my relationship with God, there have been times I have stumbled and chosen what I wanted and there have been times I've chosen God's way. There are times I have been on fire for God and times I have just been content with where I'm at in our relationship and I'm reminded of the fact that God calls us to live a life of worship to live with Him as Lord of our life. Some says its easy to follow Him and other days its a struggle He knows that each day we have a choice to follow Him or not. If the choices we make or what we say points others to Him or turns them away. Our life is to be one of prayer and reflection, to pray continually seeking Him and His will, to talk to Him as though He is right there next to us, because He is. When we say our Amen at the end of our prayers it doesn't mean that our conversation has to cease with God it can be the beginning. I honestly can't tell you why God cares so much about each part of our lives but it matters to Him that we share it with Him, the good and the bad. I know its easy for me to talked to God about the bad but He wants to hear the good too. He even wants to hear you laugh! One of my favorite things is to ask God to make me laugh, then He gives me a thought or says something funny! His humor is clean!

Reflection is meditating on the things He has done, through the Bible and in your life as well, examine your life and see what God has done in it since knowing Him! Remembering the things God throughout history will help you remember and know that He really can do anything! He parted the Red Sea, He keeps His promises this will grow your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ more than anything else! There is a reason why God had His people build alters to Him to remember what He did. What is your alter to remember what God has done in your life? I'm not saying build an alter and worship it or make sacrifices on it, I'm saying is there a time or a place where you can go and remember what God has done in your life and can you go back to that place and say "okay God I saw you move here once and God I asked that I may see you move in my life again." God wants us to remember Him and what He can do, because without Him we can do nothing, but with Him all things are possible.

Last but not least living a life of worship, I admit there are times I have been better at this than I am as of right now, but I remember the fire, the love the passion and I want to get back to a place where I worship the Lord God Almighty every minute of every day! Worship isn't just for church, its how we must live our lives if we want the world to see Him in our lives. It doesn't matter where you are you can stop what your doing and take time to worship Him, even if all you have is a 5 min break between classes or meetings lift His name up and sing praises and you will find, joy and peace and assurance in the Lord Jesus, even if you believe everything is falling apart remember He is Lord!

Blessings and prayers to all.
May God be glorified in our lives!
