02-02-25 prayer picture.jpg

I cannot decide of this picture makes me cold, or if it warms my heart as I consider worshipping in a beautiful chapel in the middle of God’s amazing creation.  Actually, it’s kind of like our little church nestled in the middle of God’s amazing Pacific Northwest creation.  OK, I have decided, I am warmed and encouraged.

​

The thing is, no matter where you live, things become familiar.  We get comfortable, and then complacent.  We have to remind ourselves to be present, to see what’s arounds us.  I often catch myself not really seeing the beauty of the surroundings I live in.  That’s just wrong!

​

But… even worse than that, I catch myself getting comfortable, and then complacent, in our church and particularly in our time of worship.  Think about that, “our time to worship God!”  When we gather and begin to sing, I ever so easily go through the motions without ever actually entering into God’s presence.

​

What a waste!  And… I suspect that I’m not the only one who does this.  But what can we do to correct it?  Well, do you take any time on Sunday morning to prepare yourself to be in God’s presence?  That is, are you taking any time in prayer to prepare?  Are you asking God to meet with you?  Are you asking the Holy Spirit to guide you into the presence of the Father?  Are you seeking Jesus’ life in you to empower you to rightly worship through you?

​

Even that can become rote and routine, I’m painfully aware of that.  When it does, we need to stop and remember, this is God we’re approaching.

​

Stop, pray for spiritual sensitivity, confess your coldness of heart, and seek the Father through the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ cleansing blood.
