Worship-focused Wednesdays

  Often time worship is presented as something we do when we sing to the Lord.  Worship is so much more than that.  Worship is honoring and glorifying the Lord with what ever we do -work, sing, pray, change dirty diapers, wash dishes, etc.  Worship is most certainly a lifestyle.  One of my favorite verses on worship is Hebrews 13:15:

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

 Our sacrifice of praise to God throughout our day is acknowledging Him as we go about our days.  Sometimes, seeing and savoring Jesus is easy; other days I have to beg God to give me eyes to see Him!  One of the habits I have sought to implement in our home is to have music going often to keep our eyes tuned to Jesus at work.  Sometimes it's praise and worship.  Sometimes it is hymns (with classical flair!).  Sometimes we play our catechism songs- songs my children love to sing and point them to truths about God and themselves!  Lately, one of my favorites to play is the song  "Oceans (Where feet may fail)" by Hillsong.  As I walk and see the waves seek to overwhelm me, I am grateful that He is faithful and will not fail!  Perhaps you will enjoy it as well, so I will share it in hopes that you will be encouraged to worship in music as you work for Jesus!
