Psalm 100:2
Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.
There is little I enjoy more than worshiping the Lord!
I love to study His Word and I love to sing His praises!
I am always hungry for more of God in my life and I have a hard time understanding people who don’t feel the same way. Don’t get me wrong, I know we are all in different places in our journey — but it can be so frustrating when you want others to dig deeper and they won’t. I know from experience that old saying is true, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” True and frustrating at the same time.
I often feel sad for people who are in bondage and ask me for help. They want help, but they want someone else to fix them. I did too — so I understand! When I was bound by fear, I didn’t have anyone knowledgeable in my life who could set me free. Instead, I had to dig through the scriptures and rebuild who I was emotionally and mentally by renewing my mind. I am who God’s Word says I am. Nothing less!
The renewing of a person’s mind is something he must do himself with the help of the Holy Spirit. He must choose to read the scriptures and study. He must choose to capture his thoughts and replace them with the truth of God’s Word.
Worship
Yes, I love to worship Father God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit! I love to sing God’s praises and I love to study His Word. I love to rest in His presence! I love to talk with Him and talk about Him with others.
Psalm 42:8
By day the Lord directs His love, at night His song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.
I am linking with Lisa-Jo today for her 5-Minute Friday. She provides the prompt and we write for 5 minutes to see what comes out. Today’s prompt: WORSHIP. Please click on her button below and join the fun.
Have a blessed Friday everyone!
Beth, I understand. I too am always on pilgrimage to grow in my relationship with the Lord. I want to love Him more and more and know Him better. Each day we can make that ‘heart choice’ to submit to Him. I love that we get to worship with all our hearts and with all our minds. Beautiful FMF post!
Blessings and love,
Debbie
Hey there sister! Good to hear from you! Thank you for coming by…I don’t need to go that far…I see some family and friends who don’t know what to do when they feel like they are suffering too much and their prayers seem unanswered… Yet, I feel there’s always doubt in God and that’s what makes their discovery of His love and grace suffer.
I’m grateful He found me at the right time then. Because it felt like I was at the end of my string and He was quick to save. He does anyway with everyone. It’s sad when one doesn’t recognize.
Without His Word, I know I’m forever lost…
Blessings to you sister and always remain strong in the Lord’s mighty power.
With hands lifted up! Love it. Blessings to you Beth.
I love to worship God. I can never understand when the music hits and my hands go up, why everyone won’t go with me. But, we can’t bring others along unless they are ready to encounter God. So before very worship service I pray that they will open their hearts and minds to encounter Jesus! Have a blessed week!
