Awe and Adoration

Yesterday morning I woke up feeling God all around me. I know that with God it is not always and emotional experience. I fully understand that just because I might not "feel" God that it doesn't mean that He is still not very near me. I just consider it an extra blessing when God allows me to feel His presence. When God chooses to remind me just how real He truly is.

I woke up worshiping God. His praises were on my lips. I just couldn't seem to move from the place of awe and adoration of Him. I didn't want to move from it either. It was so nice.

As I was in my car driving to church I was worshiping God all the more. I had so much anticipation of getting to church so I could continue to worship Him. I was craving the worship service, longing to be even closer to the heart of my God. It was almost like I wouldn't find any relief from the overwhelming love I had inside of me unless I poured it out on the feet of Jesus through worshiping Him.

The love I have for Him is so strong and so real. God is such a good God. His love is very real. He is very real!

I don't live like this everyday. I don't wake up in the morning like this every morning. But I wish I could- that is what I strive towards. I want my life to be a life of worship before God. Worship goes so much more beyond just music and singing. Worship is a lifestyle. I want my life to be an act of worship before God.

I also always want to be that excited to go into the House of God on Sunday mornings. I know that God says we should not neglet the gathering of believers. I know that there is power when we come together to worship Him. I know that honors God more then I can even begin to imagine.

But most Sundays I don't appreciate coming together with His children enough. It can even just be routine and habit for me. This is not how it should be though. That does not honor my God. I wish I could have the excitement and anticipation that I had last Sunday every Sunday as I am going to church. This is something I will be praying for help with. I will now try to be more conscious of this mindset when I wake up on Sunday mornings. Trust me it was so nice!
