Worship

Psalm 29:1-2 proclaims:

“Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.”

 

In the midst of the doing,

the doing dishes,

the doing schoolwork,

the doing laundry and bedmaking and Lego-picking-up,

the doing dinner,

the doing baths and bedtime,

and the doing more dishes,

I wear myself out.

My body is worn out, but I wear out my heart more than anything.  My soul feels strained when I fail to follow His commands for me in Psalm 29:1-2.  My Father in Heaven commands me to ascribe to him the strength that I can’t muster to do all the things I’m supposed to in a day.

He commands me to worship Him and not have an expectation at the end about what I’m going to get  out of worship.

Today, I pray to seek gratification from worship rather than work.
