Worship is not…
Watch this video.
And then watch it again and let the words sink in.
Worship is not about us, our voice, whether we sit or stand, whether we raise or hands or bow our heads. It has nothing to do with what style we prefer. Actually, It has absolutely nothing to do with us at all…
And everything to do with praising Him.
“It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.” - John 4:23, 24 (The Message)
Are you “simply and honestly” yourself before him in your worship?

What do we do?
I love this quote by Helen Keller: “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”
This video really resonated with me, because I have prayed for answers to so many things and yet God is silent. I have asked “Why” so many times, and yet he doesn’t answer.
Maybe he has and I am just not listening.. Maybe the answer is in His silence but I am so unwilling to face that because it is not the answer that I want.
And therein lies the problem.
I want.
Sometimes, it is in the silence of the answers that Christ speaks the loudest. Maybe, just maybe there is no answer, it is just what it is… His will.
And maybe we aren’t suppose to know the answers this side of heaven, because they are too difficult to process. Questions like why did I get cancer, or why is my daughter terminally ill?
Can I handle those answers?
So, instead of asking the questions the way that I continually ask them.. I am beginning to understand that it really has nothing to with me.
And everything to do with His will.
What have you asked for that God has remained silent to? How have you responded.
And are you really listening?
