It's crazy how hectic life can become and how I can become distracted as a result. Over the past days, I really have come to see how my complete motivation in life is to worship Jesus Christ, my Lord. I feel like sometimes my motives in ministry/missions are too often replaced with less-worthy goals. I must keep coming back to worship.
As if on cue, last week my church hosted a huge worship conference. I was able to see Phil Wickham in concert for the second time. I also went on to my church's big worship night the next evening. It was much needed. I needed to lift my eyes away from the world and look to Christ. I am realizing how much I desperately need this sweet communion with my Savior, this beautiful time worshipping Him on a regular basis.
Phil's song "Shining" really touched my heart. The lyrics really speak of my thoughts:
"God, shining like the sun
Let your kingdom come
I want to be with You in Your presence
I'm here to bring you praise
You take my breath away
And now I'm here with You in Your presence."
I want God's kingdom to come. I just want to be with Him. I desire for all my actions to be reflective of my worship of Him. I want my missions to come from my worship, as it says in the first chapter of Piper's Let the Nations be Glad. God really does take my breath away when I think about who He is and what He has done. He's sovereign and loving and just and good. He's shining. He deserves ALL the glory.
