A Morning of Worship!

After a long weekend in Tennessee and getting the girls back on their routine, I was able to resume my morning quiet time … after my 8 week old SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT last night, but that’s another post!!! :)

Anyway, I made my coffee and sat down to read a few chapters of Proverbs. I stopped at Proverbs 5:21 which states, “For a man’s ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths.” My heart just has not been in the right place the last few weeks. I’m not sure what it was, but I would literally stand during worship at church and feel like I was totally out of my element and a bit disconnected. I was easily frustrated and completely discontent – I know I blogged about that a few weeks ago. When I got to Proverbs 5:21 this morning, I just stopped. God sees me even when my heart isn’t in the right place. He examines my heart and he probably knows it better than I do. My mind was immediately flooded with this amazing song they sang at a church we visited with Lance and Lauren a few weeks ago. It’s called, I’ll Stand with Arms High by Hillsong. It’s an AMAZING song! I quickly went to youtube and put the song on repeat. There’s something about music that just stirs my soul. It gives me a refreshing feeling that nothing else really can – especially when it’s worship music. There is no coincidence in that – it’s truly GOD!

I am putting the song here on my blog incase you want to listen. The video looks like it’s from the early 90’s, but the song is SO GOOD!! It you want to be empowered and feel the presence of God, please listen. It is my prayer that He will speak to you in amazing ways! At about 2 minutes and 40 seconds the music picks up for the bridge (the most powerful part of a song in my opinion!). It slows down and picks up again. Close your eyes and let it move your heart. There’s no other feeling like it.

 

 

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I'll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours!
