In Psalms 119:28: The Bible says – “My soul is weary with sorrow...” Even the soul gets worn out.
The bottom line is that, I grew weary both mentally and spiritually with the wrong purpose. “The Purpose Drive Life” by Pastor Rick Warren and it pointed me in the right direction by highlighting the important portions of the Bible. We are all created for God’s pleasure. This revelation also helped me out of my weariness of the routine – to know that I have a purpose and direction for eternity! Worship no longer meant just the two short hours at church on Sundays, but it mean a change in lifestyle altogether.
Matthew 7:7 says “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
God will give us the answer to the question on how to live our lives to worship Him if we would only ask Him. Nobody can tell us how to worship God – only He can. Every journey begins with a single step, and a step in the right direction
In GMC, we have many good examples to follow. Our Pastors, church leaders as well as many who have gone before us – whose lives were a great testimony and blessing. Living a life of Worship lifts our spirits and keeps us from feeling dry and weary. God in His mysterious ways fills us with His strength when we worship Him. It is by God’s strength and the perseverance He grants; that sustains the Pastors and all the church leaders
If you are feeling weary, I would like to invite you to seek God and ask “What can I do to bring pleasure to You?” Be honest about how you feel and what you want. If you don’t feel that your life is not pleasing worship to God – then ask God for a heart of worship! Seek God for a heart of worship! And you shall surely find what you are searching for.
For it is in this pursuit that we’ll find strength! God bless.
