Life-Song

 This is a new message I am working on. Please give me your feedback.
We were created to Worship. Case and Point. Our purpose on this Earth is to simply live a life that pleases God. If we amuse the angels and liv e according to His plans, then we live on a daily basis in the midst of praise to God. My proof is this:

Hebrews 3: 11-12 "Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. 12 He says, "I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises,"

This scripture tells me that God sent His son to form in assembly with his creation, us. In doing so, Jesus praised God. This tells me that Jesus was sent to inform us of our purpose in life---to praise the Name of God. To call Him father and to live according to His word.

So there's your purpose, to praise God.

Psalm 96: 1-2 "Sing the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day."

Now that we know our purpose, to worship, I must ask my main question,

what song are you singing to God?

We all know the wonderful song written and performed by Casting Crowns,

"Lifesong". It states to "let my lifesong sing to you." ALthough it is a great song with great lyrics, the

thing that I must bring to account is that we really do have a life song. Everything that we do is considered praise.

So what kind of praise are you giving to God? The Psalmist tells us that we should sing a new song to God. He literally

compares the day-to-day actions and thoughts that we have to the worship we give to God. We often feel that what we do alone, is done in complete privacy.

That not even God knows what we did alone. Yet, if we were to realize that that "private action" is actually a form of praise to God,

then maybe we would realize what were handing to God. Everything.

So next time you decide to live against the things of God, remember, your still praising Him. No matter what.

Give Him a new song. A worthy song of Praise.

Hmm...

Life is like a curvy pathway. Somedays you'll be going one way, and then the next a curve. Then your faced with all new directions--all new scenery. I just recently underwent new changes to my way of thinking. Here i am, feeling like I have it all figured out and then God changes the plans. According to this world's standards, I should be upset. yet, I am not. Not at all. Because I firmly believe that if God is the director of my steps, then why should I be upset if He decides to change my direction? He is obviously just adjusting my step. I'm cool with that. :-)

Who's the boss?

Isn't amazing how we contrast so greatly between the media and God? How we'll say "I'm my own man! No God or deity will control me!" Yet out of the other side of our mouth we say, "Hurry, quick, so and so television show is on! I'm not going to read the Bible right now, my favorite movie just started!"

Who really is controlling us? What we don't realize is that our life is not our own. We were created for one purpose, and that is to worship God. However, our purpose--to worship--can be turned against us.

So the verdict is: Worship God or Worship Satan.

Who is our boss? Who do we care more about? Enough about trying to balance our lives between the world and God. There is no balance. There is no connection. God is so badly wanting to see a generation that is not afraid to say, "Put the magazine down. Turn the television off. It's time to worship my God."

Let this world know who your boss is!

Man...

You know, everybody told me that this day (last of Highschool, beginning of the rest of my life) would be a bittersweet event. They, couldn't have hit it more on the head. I am so excited about starting the rest of my life, yet I am dreading the last day that I say goodbye to all of my friends. Friends that I have been with for years. Some for over a decade. 

God reigns through everything, and I know that HE will help me through it all.
