HOW DO YOU WORSHIP?

How do you worship? Debbie Preached a great message on worship. You can hear Debbie's message at www.harvestcity.sk.ca/messages/index.htm
I was truly impacted by this message, so in my devotions I searched more about worship. This is some of what I found. This is taken from www.allaboutgod.com/worship-c.htm (I used the New Living Translation Bible)
Worship - Spirit and Truth

True worship is God-centered worship. People tend to get caught up in where they should worship, what music they should sing in worship, and how the worship looks to other people. Focusing on these things completely misses the point. Jesus tells us that true worshipers will worship God in spirit and in truth John 4:24

 ²⁴ For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

This means we worship from a pure heart!
Worship - The Heart of the Matter

Worship can include praying, reading God's Word with an open heart, singing, participating in communion, and serving others. It's not limited to one act such as serving by setting up the chairs, Ushering, Security, Sound, Sunday School Teacher, but these are done properly when the heart and attitude of the person is in the right place.
Worship - The Heart of David

As far as worship, King David was a phenomenal example for all of us. He had a pure and grateful heart towards God and worshipped Him with the entirety of his being. Many of the Psalms reflect David's passionate heart for worship. 

^{Psalm 92:1-2}

¹ It is good to give thanks to the Lord,to sing praises to the Most High.

² It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening,Psalm 18:3a   

3. I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise... 

Psalm 145:3

³ Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!No one can measure his greatness. 

David was a man after God's own heart, because he truly glorified God in his heart!
Worship - Glorify and Exalt God!

True worship is not confined to singing in church or open praise, but it is the heartfelt acknowledgment of God and all His power and glory in the things we do. To truly worship God, we must know Him and not be ignorant of His good and glorious nature.

In a nutshell, worship is to glorify and exalt God; to show our loyalty and admiration to our Heavenly Father!
I hope you find this encouraging. Remember to Worship and keep your heart attitude on God and His desires.

A little something for my wife. I LOVE you Lorie

A little something for my wife. I LOVE you Lorie!!

From the heart

I love thee

From the mind I need thee

Oh my love I so want you

To see me and for you to have me

For your heart to love

Look for me deep in your mind

And search your heart to find me

Baby I love the thought of us together

Holding and loving

Walking in the rain and singing together

Falling in love all over and over again

As we gaze into each other’s eyes.

My heart aches when we are apart

I long for the moment in time where our

Touch will stop everything and in that moment

You are the only one I am thinking about

Baby you are my heart and my love

I love you

Remember Jesus is the Reason we live and breath

Some days it is truly hard to find the words to blather on about something. I mean when I sit in front of the computer with a blank look on my face trying to come up with something...sometimes it don't work.
In your live there needs to be daily connection with the one who gave you breath, the one who gave you life, the one who died for you.
Jesus needs to be part of your daily lives. You should concentrate on Him when you are having the blank look part of your day. He will give you the words you need to move and to focus on what the day is to bring.

I woke up late last night praying for someone, I cant remember who, but it was like Jesus just bless this person and guide their footsteps. I like it when I wake up like that... Jesus your so awesome.

God Bless you all today
Remember Jesus is the Reason we live and breath.

Rejoice in the Lord always

Hi all,
This is a teaching I found. Sorry that I didn't write something but my Internet just came back. There was a planned outage.

If you’re feeling anxious or worried about anything today, Philippians 4 is a good place to look for help.

I like this passage because the Apostle Paul, who wrote these truths of God, doesn’t just tell you not to be anxious, he tells you why you don’t need to be anxious; he doesn’t just tell you not to dwell on your problems, but he tells you what to dwell on instead.

And I especially like this passage because Paul didn’t write them while sitting on a grassy hillside at a mountaintop retreat. He wrote them while being held in chains in a first century prison cell, having been beaten, flogged, and facing possible death at any moment. If Paul could learn how to be free from anxiety in a situation like that, then we could learn from him how to deal with our anxious thoughts as well.
Here’s what Paul said:
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:4-7).

Twice he says to “rejoice in the Lord.” Notice that he doesn’t say you have to rejoice about the difficult situation your facing, but to rejoice in the Lord. Rather than trying to minimize what you’re facing, he’s trying to maximize who you’re facing them with: the Lord. And that’s also the reason why you don’t need to be anxious: because “The Lord is at hand.” He’s not a God who’s taken off to some distant land, but He’s actually very close at all times--“at hand”--or within an arm’s reach.

A woman once told me about a time when she was laying in pain on a hospital bed when she looked up to see a cross on the wall. It wasn’t an empty cross--which has a special significance of its own--but it was a cross depicting the agonizing crucifixion of Jesus. While it might seem gruesome to look into the face of a man who is experiencing excruciating pain, for this woman it turned out to be one of the greatest comforts of her life. She was suddenly filled with the realization that Jesus was right there with her, and that He knew exactly what she was going through, bringing her immediate comfort and peace.

Paul also told them what to focus on in the midst of their troubles:
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me--practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you” (Philippians 4:8-9).
It reminds me of the song that Julie Andrews sang in the Rodgers and Hammerstein movie, The Sound of Music. When the children were afraid of the thunder and lightning outside, she sang: “When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don’t feel so bad.” For her, some of her favorite things were, “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.”

What are some of yours? Or, as Paul asked, what are some things you can think about that are true? Honorable? Just? Pure? Lovely? Commendable? Excellent? Worthy of praise? Think about such things, not just as a technique to distract you from your situation, but as a practical way to put your situation into perspective. For as hard as life can be, there are still things in life which are beautiful and glorious

Paul learned the secret of being content in every situation, whether he had plenty or was in need. How? By continually rejoicing in the Lord, by remembering that God was near, and in everything, making his requests known to God. In one of the most famous verses of the Bible--found at the end of this chapter--Paul said:

“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

If you’re feeling anxious and worried, read Philippians chapter 4. Learn from Paul and put into practice what you learn. As you do, may the God of peace be with you--and may His peace be yours.

We will run together this race You put before me

Until now I have tried it on my own
until now I have not given all to you
Until now I have been running
But not the race you have given me to run

I have been seeking something for a long time
I have been looking here and there
I have been wondering if there is more

Then I realized its not me but You
I saw that it should no longer be just Me or I
It should be We and You
You have given me my reason for living
for running for seeking
You have given me everything

We will run together this race You put before me
Hand in hand will we walk
You will guide my path
You will be my eyes

Thank you Jesus for giving it all
