Worship is not simply an act of singing. Worship permeates all we say, do and think. We worship in Spirit and Truth. Each day is an empty canvas to paint a picture through our words, deeds and thoughts. Scripture tells us to paint that picture in the Spirit and in Truth. As we paint, we have opportunity to worship by creating a picture that expresses the truth of who God is.
This blog is a place where I will be sharing my take on real-life issues, and where they find their connection with authentic worship.

You may have heard that God’s love is an anchor that reaches to the heavens. When we understand that we are anchored to something stronger than the elements surrounding us, we can rest in the strength of the anchor. God’s love anchors us in the storms of fear, doubt and confusion. It anchors us from the continuing voices of self condemnation, failure and defeat. We are tethered to a force strong enough to overcome even the loudest shouts that rage against us. To know Him is to know His love for you. To experience Him as a Father is to experience His unwavering commitment to your good. His love and commitment to you is so great that He has purposed to make all circumstances in your life ultimately be worked out for good (Romans 8:28). The anchor of God’s love provides a place of certainty, that although your soul may be in turmoil to the current situation, you can cling to the certainty of His good thoughts and good purposes in that situation toward you. He is not ridiculing you. He is not waiting on you to do it perfectly. He is not waving a condemning finger before you. He is not withholding anything good from you. No… you are on the road to your purpose. And on that road He is faithful to you. His love is not trite nor changing, as is our own. His love endures. His love comes from the very heart of who He is. PRAYER“Lord may my spirit be tethered to the realness of your love for me this day. May the turbulent circumstances that trouble my soul this day be stilled as I hold to the knowledge of your steadfast love for me. Teach me, lead me, and guide me by your still voice. Remind me again who I am in Christ, that I am loved, I am Yours, I am precious in your eyes. Give me faith to worship you by standing on this truth today. Amen.” SCRIPTURESEphesians 3:17-19 “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge— that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
Psalm 36:5 Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. |
