Feeling Spiritually BLAH? Praise Is the Antidote to Malaise! Let's WORSHIP!
Manage episode 359120679 series 3432436
Are you feeling spiritually dry or lackluster or BLAH? The antidote to malaise is WORSHIP and PRAISE! Seriously! We recently experienced refreshment and invigoration from attending two completely different Christian Women’s Conferences – both saturated with praise and worship. It was a huge reminder that we must make time for worship each day – even if it’s just ten minutes of waving our hands in the air in the car. (One hand on the wheel at all times, of course!) The Holy Spirit meets us in our willingness to sacrifice moments in our crazy busy schedules to worship JESUS! Also, we offer tips and suggestions on how to worship when it's the LAST thing you want to do -- so join the fun!
“Lead with your body the posture you want your heart to be in... Worship reorients us to our Creator. It reminds us WHO we belong to and WHO loves us, protects us, and guides us." (Danica)
“Praise often requires that we kill our pride, fear, or sloth – anything that threatens to diminish or interfere with our worship of the Lord.” The Spirit-Filled Life Bible, NLT Translation notes. (*This is one of our favorite study Bibles - https://amzn.to/3FUQJnM)
VERSES:
Hebrews 13:15 - “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.”
Psalm 22:3 - “Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.”
Psalm 100 - "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands!"
King David dancing before the ark of the covenant in 2 Samuel 6:14-15; 21-22:
Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets.... “I was dancing before the Lord, who chose me above your father and all his family! He appointed me as the leader of Israel, the people of the Lord, so I celebrate before the Lord. Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes!"
