I am a lover of God, and my expression of that is worship. My first conscious memory of worshipping God is around 3, singing in the Cherub choir at church. I am at my most peaceful, joyful place in worship.
When I came back to the church, it didn't seem like legitimate work for the Lord. I think because it's not really a priority at church. I kept trying to reinvent myself into something else, something useful. Singing was a weekend volunteer job, not the "real" thing.
Jesus taught us, "on earth as it is in heaven", so what's going on in heaven? Continuous worship around the throne. Worship is the correct response to seeing God. It's ok, that this is my purpose. Better than ok. For me it's air.
David knew it was the correct response to God, and hired thousands of musicians and singers to worship God night and day and pray. The 24/7 house of prayer was God's idea then and it is now as well. We don't have to reinvent ourselves to satisfy the current theological, social or political trends of usefulness. God invented me. I'm good with that.
Lord, make my life praise...everything I do, I want it to point to You, and be an act of worship. Amen
