Here I am to worship..... Hmmmm, most people may say, But what does that really mean? For me, worship is not relegated to just being a Sunday morning ritual. Instead it is a lifestyle. For me worship is sitting here on my back patio, sipping coffee, listening to the birds and enjoying the coolness of the morning. For me, worship is listening. For me, worship is honoring Gods word daily in my thoughts and through my actions. I sit. I reflect. I inhale the freshness of a new day of mercies, challenges and victories prepared just for me. I exhale the mistakes and mis-steps of yesterday, honoring them for the lessons they taught, but releasing them into a forever existing place called, the past. For me, worship is gratitude. It is humility before the most high God. For me worship reaches its peak when that crescendo of a moment arrives and all of a sudden, the Lord speaks. I close my eyes, breathe slowly and simply smile. Sometimes I cry. Silent tears. Silent tears carry so much power. Silent tears speak such great volumes. They quietly cleanse and purge the soul. Yeah, worship... My eyes remain closed. I begin to hear airplanes over head. Yes, the airplane is a most astonishing invention. Much like the spirit of God, but of course in a physical way. The similarities are so very intruiging. They both carry people from one place to another. Of course, each of them have a captain that shares with those on board specific and very necessary details regarding the journey. And yesssss, they both take us to a higher place. A place that causes our view to change. A place that allow us to see that what at one level seemed so to big to becomes so very small WHEN WE RISE! Oh the presence of the Lord. I just love His simplicity. His faithfulness. His forgiving heart. His loving spirit. His cleansing power. His plan of restoration. He lifts my head. He restores my soul. He ministers to every ache in my heart. The presence of the Lord. It calms my fears. It lets me know that I am safe. It confirms for me over and over and over, that the Lord will never leave me nor forsake me. Yes, the presence of the Lord...my strong tower. My provider. My shelter in stormy weather. My water in dry places. My compass. My counselor. My confidant. My physician. My lawyer. My doctor. My peace. The presence of the Lord, simply put...MY EVERYTHING. Well, look at that! Even the darkness MUST obey Him, for it has made its exit as the light of day comes forth. Thank you Father for inviting me Into your presence. Thats worship to me...what is worship to you???
