Worship as a weapon

Worship and praise have literally been saving my life. When I’m intent on being in this place, I’m safe. It’s in pure worship that I can hide in the arms of El Shaddai! The Lord Almighty! Whether it’s a loud shout, quiet phrases expressing my gratitude, reading for understanding in his word, or simply walking obediently in his will, entering into his presence has been the safest place to be. No matter where I am, what time it is, or what I’ve done, with a repentant heart, he receives me, restores me, and redirects me. Even if it has to happen 5 million times in one day.

God doesn’t want us lost, hurt, feeling abandoned, and disconnected from him. He wants us aware that he is a very present help in the time of trouble (Psalm 46:1). He wants us aware there is peace in him. He wants us aware that although we may continue to walk away from him, he will never leave or forsake (abandon) us (Deut 31:6).

When we worship and praise we begin to magnify how good he is and all the good that’s happening in our lives. We recognize his love for us and if we are willing to receive him, we have the opportunity to feel his Spirit intertwine with ours for an inner renewal that cannot be explained. It’s these precious moments with God (alone in your bathroom or in corporate worship) that solidify his existence, give you what you need to take an extra step, and fill you with peace, joy, and contentment!

Worship is not something that just happens on Sunday’s, during midweek service, or early in the morning. It is something that can occur with every thought, every step, in every moment.

Worship is a weapon that you don’t have to use sparingly! Be excessive with it!!!
