Me:  There is something about this sign that speaks to my heart!

Prodigal:  I agree!

Me:  There is also something else that speaks to my heart.

 

I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see

 

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it

 

And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me

 

Some of you have figured out that these are the lyrics to some songs.  They are Amazing Grace, Come thy Fount and All I have is Christ.

To me worship is when I am singing the truth to my savior.  Whether I am alone or with others it is an act of acknowledging what God is in my life and what He does for me.

Sometimes we can become so busy with all we have to do at church or socially talking to everyone that day.  Sometimes I think though it is good for our spirit just to sing to God and God alone, it changes us from what we were just thinking of two minutes ago.

My soul needs to worship when the fears, stress and weariness of life has overcome me.  How can a song help?   Well it is nourishes us with the love of God.  This finds it way to the spirit, and forces the fears and stress to leave us.  We are then able to  focus on the wonderful savior who changed us forever more.

 

2 Timothy 3:10

You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness.
