Worshipping with more than music
At my school we have chapel every day of the week, three in our gym and two in another area of the school and many other mini chapels that occur through the week. We go, we sing praises, we hear the word and leave. Then what? Is that it? Are we done with our praise and worship? I think so. Many people walk out without a second thought about continuing their worship for God outside of where we come to worship. WHen I walk outside am I still thinking of the worship? Yes I am probably but then the things in our life take over. When I'm eating do I still remember when I worshiped? Probably though its faded now and later when in class will I? Probably not. Worship needs to continue outside of where we would usually come to worship andnot only worshipping with out lips but with our actions.With our being. Like Christ said when he was asked what the greatest commandment was in the law: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." (Matthew 22:37) Okay so how often have we been loving our God with our, pretty much entire being and existence. To me, persoanlly, not very much. At least for me, in my case. I talk a big game saying that God is changing me but you have to submit to him and give yourself for it to work since it isn't our will that is done. i know its never any fun to not get what we want but a great philosopher once said "you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need." I think there's a little bit of truth in there. So go, worship, make disciples of the nations and most of all love Christ.
