Worship: Part I

I didn't get much sleep... went to bed late and woke up earlier than supposed to... I knew He wanted to tell me something, but instead, I tried to go back to sleep. I could not re-enter slumberland, though. So, I surrendered. I said, "Alright, Lord... Make sure this is clear enough because there were times I weren't sure what You were trying to tell me (my fault, my fault... for not tuning in accurate enough)." I climbed out of my bed with my girl still soundly asleep beside me. Shane tugging in with his dad.

I went on to ask Him, "Lord, what do You want?" A question I try to avoid as much as I can. You'll never know what answer you'll get... go to Timbuktu, or build an ark! Thank God that's not what He said to me yesterday morning. He simply said, "I want my people to worship Me." My heart felt a sudden cry... I felt His longing... Then, I told Him, "OK, Lord... I'll do whatever that's within my capacity and You do the rest." My heart was filled with a little disbelief, with that I constantly slap and remind myself to trust Him. Still, I was only expecting a 'good worship session'. Terrible me!

But deep inside my spirit I sensed this verse ringing...

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us... (Ephesians 3:20)

Whoa! I felt God immeasurably! I am sure a lot of us did, too. I just sensed that He wanted the worship to go on and on... I too did not want to stop (though physically I was wearing off due to lack of sleep)... He wants us to experience a new thing but there are guidelines I have to abide to... I actually was depressed when the worship ended... I asked myself "What did I do?"
