Worship is our response to what we value most. What do
you value most? Do your actions reflect
your true values? When Erika asked these
questions on Tuesday, I believe a little journey of soul searching began in
each of us. God is #1! But am I showing Him that I feel that
way? Am I living out my passion for
Christ? Am I a daily example to my
children of how to love and serve God? Am
I doing these things to the best of my ability?
Erika reminded us that we are all worshippers, that we
cannot help but worship…something. For anything
that sucks time out of our life and isn’t worthy
of it, let’s try to refocus our time
and affection to what matters most.
Let’s set our priorities and strive to live by them. Guard your worship!
At the same time, don’t judge yourself too harshly. As moms, we are so busy! So realize you’re never gonna be
perfect. BUT, also realize that what we
call our “daily grind” can totally be worshipful to God! James 1:17 says, “Every good and perfect gift
is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not
change like shifting shadows.” Every
time you tend to your child, you are worshipping God by taking care of the gift
that He gave you! Every time you change
a diaper, do the laundry that never ends, and cook dinner for your family, you
are honoring God.
The bottom line is…where is your heart? We don’t want to waste our worship! So, let’s refocus, as often as we need
to. “All things were made BY Him, and
all things were made FOR Him,” John 1:3.
