Spend Time in Worship

Recently I had a day where everything seemed to go wrong. We were running late, I couldn't find something to wear, everyone was on each other's nerves and I could feel myself spiraling. Do you ever have days like that?

I wanted nothing more than to fix the problems. I thought that if I could just figure out how to get everyone out the door on time without arguing and I was wearing the right thing, then maybe it would all turn around. I wanted to make everything better like a fairy godmother with a wave of a magic wand.

But real life doesn't have magic wands.

I discovered something we do have, however: worship.

Without changing a single thing about our circumstances, I simply put worship music on. I didn't even sing along (I was too mad for that.) Instead, I let the music play, filling my soul with the peace and presence of God regardless of how I felt or what I was facing.

Can I tell you something? It worked.

It didn't change how late we were or whether my clothes fit the way I wanted, but it did change something in my spirit.

When you play worship, you invite the peace and presence of the Holy Spirit into your day.

"Therefore, through him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise" Hebrews 13:15

Here we are reminded that no matter what is going on in our lives, no matter what circumstances we face, we should always offer praise. It is in praising Him that we show the fullness of our love for God from our souls.

We could all use more of His presence to feed our souls.
