Worship From My Heart

We are created to worship. Worship is the easiest thing we can

do, and yet the hardest when it comes to our flesh getting in the

way. Just like it is so easy to get excited when everything is

going good. When you get a raise, when you get a new job,that

you have been wanting, when you are on top of the mountain

praise comes easy. You worship with ease. It flows out of you

like a river.

The worship that should come out of you should never change.

This is what God has been teaching me. I am in a season where

I am on the potters wheel, where God is molding my heart and

stripping me of all that does not belong. I have had to surrender

to his hand.

So in this season I have had to push through my emptiness. I

have had to make a sacrifice of praise.

“Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of

praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His

name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such

sacrifices God is pleased.”

Hebrews 13:15-16 NASB

One of the things I have learned while on the wheel is, through

my sacrifice of praise I have grown closer to God. When I have

been emptiest and still praised him with my heart, I have heard

God the clearest. The reality of it is God desires and definitely

deserves our best and highest worship, no matter if you are on

top of your mountain or in your valley. He is the same powerful

and mighty God he did not change.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father let my praise continue to be pleasing to your

ears. Let me worship from my heart. Let me not get distracted

by the situation I am going through, but focus only on you.

When I stop looking at my problems and focus my life on you,

you take care of my problems you split the Red Sea, and I walk

across on dry ground. I thank you for forming me into who you

have created me to be.
