What a blessing that God created me for his pleasure. He didn't have to but he did. When he talks about worshiping being a lifestyle that resinated with me. I never looked at worship being that and always figured worship was when we would sing at church. I have learned so much already from this book. I need to worship God in everything that I do and I totally understand what Rick is saying. He says that we should always think of God even with the craziness of our life. I guess we can do this by remembering that we are here for a short time and that we have eternity to look forward to.
On Page 67 starting with Paragraph "This is the secret to a lifestyle of worship- doing everything as if you were doing it for Jesus. I have to say this gave me so much insight. I have always been so confused about worship. Is it Church is it prayer, just so confused if I was worshiping God the way I should. I knew it was a way of life but didn't how to completely incorporate it in my life. " Take your everyday ordinary life and place it before God as an offering. That's it Ladies in a nut shell. Do what you do and dedicate it to God and perform it with an awareness of his presence. (3rd paragraph) Reread it write it down. Let's committ that we will make a difference in what we do everyday even the small stuff.
We are all mothers and society makes us feel guilty in everything we do . So let's remember if we're assure of something place it before God as an offering dedicate it to him and be aware of him. I challenge each of you to do this for the next week and be conscious about it.
I have been feeling so guilt lately about my children and husband. I'm not sure if its the hormones but so short tempered so angry. Then following up with so much guilt. I thank God for giving me this book that has given me this tool to worship him fully. I thank him most of all for having you ladies support me and take me up on my 40day prayer. Thank you Again!! Take the challenge and take the simplest of task and do it as offerent to him and be aware of presence.
That was a real eye opener for me too Janina. To know that God delights when we do normal, everyday activites for his glory. I really need to get into the mindset that worship is not part of our life, it is our life. Common tasks I could start doing as if I were doing it directly for Jesus would be concentrating at work and cleaning the house (because I dislike cleaning so much!!!!!)
