This is one of those inspired blog posts where you don't really know where to start and stop...lots of things running through your mind...
I watched a clip on worship this afternoon and was challenged...here are some of the things that stood out to me through that clip...
[hang on, because it's a conglomeration of thoughts]
John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
In order to know a voice, you have to hear it more than once... you need to stay in tune with them...
In this verse, it says that His sheep know His voice...do you know His voice? You have to stay in tune to Him to know what His voice sounds like...There are so many other things that can distract us, but we need to take the time to hear from Him and to worship Him.
God has called you to something right now. Whether it seems like a BIG job, or a normal, every day type of job, it IS important! Don't focus on what you are going to do five or ten years from now, be faithful in what He has for you at this very moment! He will continue to lead you in the future just like He has in the past...He didn't bring you to this moment and let you set! There is a purpose for you now...keep following His voice!
"Comparison will keep you from doing what God wants you to do!"
There are so many people that are ok with worshiping God on Sunday mornings and leaving it at that...but to know His voice, we need to spend time with Him every day... We need to be John 10:27 children. [A child who know His Father's voice.] Not someone who's ok with second-hand information or already-been-chewed information, but someone who continually seeks God throughout the week!
Sometimes we are going to have to go against our culture or tradition or worship. Like the woman who pushed through the crowds of people to touch His robe after being sick for so long, we need to push through the crowds of people...People are going to look at us and make fun of us, but that's ok. Don't be stuck in tradition. Don't just do what everyone else does for worship. [but DON'T do it for a scene either!] It's supposed to be worship [to honor or reverence as a divine being or supernatural power]!
Here is the clip that inspired this! :)
It's worth your time!
