It’s Friday! Time to link up with Lisa-Jo for Five Minute Friday…a time when we “write for five minutes not worrying if everything is just right.” Come join in the fun HERE
Prompt: WORSHIP
The size of our worship depends on the size of our God.
Worship changed in my life when I began to live as if God was truly big enough to take on my giant.
When I gave God the benefit of the doubt and chose to believe that He could do anything. (Eph 3:20)
When I put all my eggs in one basket and said, my only hope is You
I’m trusting You to get me through this, Lord.
I no longer want to live life cowered in fear.
I no longer want to pretend the giant’s not there.
I no longer want to run away from this life you’ve given me.
I’m done settling.
I want more.
And then I watched the giant fall beneath my feet (Ps 18:38)
I watched him go down and not get back up.
And for nearly 12 years now there has been incredible peace and joy in the Land.
Yes, there are still seasons of difficulty.
But I choose again and again to give Him the benefit of the doubt.
Because I know what a BIG GOD is capable of accomplishing!
And I know He deserves all my worship.
Stopping by from Five Minute Friday (tried it for the fist time today.) I love your thoughts on worship.
Blessings,
Joan
Thanks, Joan. Glad you linked up too!
Thank you for the share Eileen. Yes, our God will be as big as we allow Him to be. About 2 years ago, I decided to let Him be big in my life and have never regretted that choice. There have been and continues to be difficult times, but I turn to Him far more quickly than ever before. It’s good to remember we can “cast all our cares on Him.” 🙂
It is a life long journey, isn’t it Tammy?
Wow, Eileen! ‘The size of our worship depends on the size of our God.’ You have said it all today in that very first line. Thank you!
Thanks, Linda
I believe it’s Pastor Joel Osteen who says “Don’t tell God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big your God is.” I’d say this writing works just as well. Blessings.
Thank you, Chris
I know what a God like ours is able to accomplish too! I just need to trust Him to do exactly what He said He would.
It definitely comes down to trust. Every season is different and filled with new challenges.
It also took me a while to realize just how big our God is. Truly amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Learning to let go like this can be so difficult! I know I have struggled with trying to handle too much on my own before as well. You said it well in the ending lines..the choosing again and again to give Him the benefit of the doubt. Lovely thoughts here 🙂
Indeed, He deserves all our worship…simply because He is God. And trusting Him with all is something that He wants from us.
