I’ve loved Jesus for a long time now. For years though, I thought worship was just singing in church and lifting my hands. I thought I had that mastered…..so why did I still feel limited in the Spirit and superficial in my service? In my deepest places, I knew I was falling short of God’s purpose for me. There was a deep longing for more. Why?

As I began to seek the Lord more whole-heartedly, taking small steps in faith, He began to reveal to me that I had misunderstood the concept of worship. While singing in church is one facet of worship, there was so much more that I was missing. No wonder I was feeling perpetually thirsty and unsatisfied. It turns out that worship is loving Him in action. Worship is seeking Him in all circumstances and situations. Worship is clinging to Him in my spirit when my flesh says He’s left me. Worship is refusing to set my joy on anything other than Him. Worship is trusting no one else but Him. Worship is walking with Him, wherever He leads. Worship is studying Him, His Word, and all of His ways because I must know Him. Worship is living to experience Him. Worship is devoting myself to obedience to Him, whatever He requires of me.

This blog is my newest adventure with Jesus. With trembling and fear, I’m stepping out in obedience. While I’m not sure where we’re going, this I know…..He is calling me to lead people to Him, to teach people about Him, and to encourage people in Him. So here we go….. me, Jesus, and anyone who will join me…… This is my worship!!
