Taking Flight into Victorious Living

2 Samuel 6:14 "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might"

2 Chronicles 6:13 "Now he had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had placed it in the center of the outer court. He stood on the platform and then knelt down befoer the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven."

Psalm 95:6 "Come let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker"

What does authentic worship look like? It is more than going through the motions. It is more than saying words because they are there to say. True worship take the whole, the spirit, every tiny bit of your being. Unless you commit wholeheartedly to worshiping the Lord you miss out on what is a truly filling experience. It is difficult, because of sin, to keep out human pride out of the way. To say I will worship as the Spirit leads me is something out of the ordinary for many people. What will the person next to me think? What if I shout aloud for joy during a song, everyone will think I'm strange. I struggle with this, as everyone does, I worry about what everyone thinks, except the one whose opinion matters most, God. He doesn't care about anything other than my worship. He knows my heart better than anyone ever could and He knows when I am being genuine in my worship and when I'm holding back. I can only pray that as I strive for a better relationship with him, that he will open my heart and remove any inhibitions I have toward worshiping fully and completely for Him. I pray that I might praise him unhindered.
