What if I told you that worshipping God is not about you or what you get out of it?
What does it
mean to be caught up in grace like an avalanche? What is it to be swept away? What does it
mean to truly pour out all that I am? We sing powerful lyrics, but yet we turn
from the teachings of Jesus on a daily basis. We put him right back up on the
cross, not because we want to, but because we cannot turn off our appetite for
self.
Stop what
you are doing right now. Are you on Facebook? Twitter? Linked in? Can you
remember your friend’s last 10 posts? Who are you following, the voice of a
celebrity or the words and teachings of Jesus?
We are so accustomed to marketing and advertising that we don’t see the
pain that is going on in our own spiritual journey. We have all become zombies. Not quite dead but not quite alive.
The next 40
days of my journey are going to be rough. I am attempting something that I have never
done before in my walk. For 40 days I am going to worship, worship like my life
depends on it. My marriage and my
relationships cannot be fulfilled without it. Only a relationship with God
through Christ Jesus can fulfill them.
We need to hear
the call, the call for worship! Jesus tells us that we are to worship in spirit
and truth.
John 4:23-24 (NIV)
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true
worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must
worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
Over the
course of the next 40 days I am going to investigate what that means for me and
what it means for others.This journey of course encompasses so many different phases: physical,
mental, and emotional. I approach this as a Love Dare. I dare you to love God for 40 days with me! We
are going to dive into his word about worship.
Are you ready?
Daring to
love God!!!!
