Worship

Driving down the road I read a sign which stated, "Hurry is a disordered life". Over the next week I couldn't get these words out of my mind and I began asking the Lord what he was trying to speak to me. I was feeling hurried and stressed and I couldn't figure out how to overcome. It almost made me angry to think that my life was disordered, but at the same time I knew it was. I continued praying and asking the Lord to help me overcome, and then he showed me something that helped me remember. I found the verse in Acts 2:46, "They followed a daily discipline of worship." This verse struck me in a mighty way. We had been worshiping as a family two weeks prior to my hurried, overwhelmed time of life, but then I had allowed life to take over and our daily discipline of worship ceased.

There are so many areas in our lives that worship will benefit, but in this moment God was trying to say, "Do you want to stop feeling hurried? Then take time out for Me. Spend time with Me. Worship Me. Make it a daily discipline."

With joy in my heart, knowing God had just answered my prayer, I shared with Seth my revelation. And that morning and every morning since we have begun our day with worship. The hurry has left, I have been more productive, and the joy has returned.

Thank you Jesus, for listening. Thank you for answering so clearly. Thank you for allowing us to come before you in worship and spend time at your feet.
