As worshipers, it’s vital that we abide in the Vine. Jesus reminds us the importance of this in John 15.5. He says, “apart from me you can do nothing.”
It’s so true.
I spend time sitting at the Father’s feet and trying to get as much from Him as I can. It’s not that I’m asking Him “this” or “that”. I’m just listening. Prayer is about more than us talking. It’s about more than us asking. Prayer is also about us just listening to what He’s saying (it’s how we align ourselves prophetically).
God gave me a great word one day when I was just listening. He said: Worship is intimacy.
It’s a profound and simple statement.
Worship is intimacy.
Worship is intimacy.
Worship is intimacy.
The overflow of our intimacy with the heart of the Father is what worship is birthed out of. It’s not music. It’s not a new song. Those are expressions of worship anyway.
Worship is my lifestyle; music is my expression.
So how close are you to the heart of the Father? Do you sit at His feet daily and listen?
Abide in the Vine. It’s what worshipers do.
It makes me smile to read stuff like this… because worship is SO not about the music… it’s all about a lifestyle of intimacy and righteousness. Good post. Keep loving God
thanks, Jess! i will forever love that God. He makes it hard not to love Him back…
This post was so timely for me…as I read it this morning and looked at the photo at the top of the page, I realized how much the things that Lord has been speaking to me mirror what He is speaking to you. As we have spent time at the beach here in Goa, He has been showing me how the little things that I marvel at in His creation, and the times I stop and celebrate the beauty I see around me are truly expressions of worship flowing out of my heart posture towards Him. Thanks for the confirmation of what He has been saying.
