Praise Him for His mighty deeds;
Praise Him with the trumpet sound.
Praise Him with dancing.
Psalm 150: 2-4
WORSHIP. A few months ago I was pretty frustrated. Still am.
Frustrated with the 'box' idea, that when I figure out something I put it all in a box and say "that's how it is, that's the bottom line". In this world today, worship is put into a box. Well, everything is put into a box. When I say 'worship', it's not the little word. I mean the BIG word
'W-O-R-S-H-I-P'. This 'word' that is our WHOLE LIVES, in our being and doing for God- the doing of dishes, jobs, careers, raising children, dancing, praying, relationships/ friendships, driving, schooling, singing, music, etc. I specifically put singing and music LAST because this is not the definition of worship at all.. it is part of it but definately not the whole of it.
Worship is a word made to be about music and songs we sing every Sunday or at youth nights, any kind of get togethers. lol there have been a lot of times when I've wanted to go to the highest mountain-top and scream "Worship IS NOT! about music and songs, IT IS LIFE!"
Calm down, Jo.
I've been tryin to work on calling our time of singing praises to God simply singing (and maybe dancing) praises to God. Though sometimes the word worship just comes out and I'm like "dope!"
This is not bad to identify singing soley as worship, I know, keep your claws in people:)
In my own life my eyes just been opened to the conditioning of the world and what am I doing to change it and make it more meaningful?
Maybe next time I do the dishes I would instead inform anyone asking me what I'm about to do with "I'm going to worship!"
Hmmm....
Maybe.
I just think I would personally want to get out of the box, out of the norm, and move towards.. in all my being, doing, words, and actions that I am hitting the 'bulls eye'. Saying what I'm doing and doing what I'm saying. Hymph.. dunno how to explain that clearer.
Do you get me?
Clear as mud.
Maybe a lil foggy..
Meh, just a personal hope of mine, that in this rising generation and the future one's coming (in church and out of church) the word 'worship' automatically has more meaning to it than thoughts of singing and music alone.
Anyhow I love dance. In my own church I'm discerning my attack. My attack is to break out in dance. lol... yeeeah. This kunfu is strong I know it. I have 2 peop's enlisted, my brave soldiers with me are Shailey and Reaco:)
Oh wow, how I just want to dance and break out in song.
Guys, I just been bubbling over with joy. Oh how I love Love and love and love aldjsldjsdlddkldk.
