New Season in my life: part 2

Friday, April 3, 2009

... So I've been instructed to worship Christ in all I do. What I'm learning is that worship is a discipline. Worship requires relationship. It requires an intimate relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. In the Bible, it says that we must worship God in spirit and in truth? So where do we get truth from? The word of God! I was listening to "gospel radio" on my television and I think I went through five songs and not one of them was an expression of worship. I even went through one of my poetry journals and I could hardly find a piece that totally focused on my adoration and exaltation to God. That's when I realized that God is taking me to another level, where He is moving me from being an artist, to becoming a worshipper. He's bringing from just writing about my struggles and my pain to writing about His love and mercy, and from writing about what He has done for me to WHO HE IS!

This is going to require more of me, not just talent but discipline. I know that I'm going to have to be in my word more and in His presence as well.

I'll post my new poetry in the Dear God Poetry Blog for you worshippers out there. If you see something that's not exalting the name of the Lord, you have my permission to throw jello at me. ( For those of you on facebook, you know what I mean :-)
