Today’s title comes from “…What a FRIEND we have in JESUS!!!!” Today’s post is an upgrade from a previous post “Worship While, When and Where I Work” It was a play on a song “Whistle while you work”. Today’s title was going to be “Worship While, When and Where You Work-2020 Edition (Pandemic and all).
The previous post (HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE) starts with me sharing my “extended break” around the Christmas Holiday and how I was focused on “WORKS”. In 2020, the focus is “WORKING” and NOT FOR THE LORD!!!! Remote Learning ( I am still a big fan of it-new skills for me), has consumed TOO MUCH OF MY LIFE. I HATE THE COMPUTER EVEN MORE. I DON’T WANT TO DOWNLOAD, UPLOAD, SUBMIT OR WATCH A VIDEO (CUTE OR FUNNY). I DON’T WANT TO SHOP ONLINE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DO IT ON THE COMPUTER!!!!!
I’m back from my rant (above mentioned of the computer). Unlike my previous post “WORSHIP WHILE, WHEN AND WHERE YOU WORK” were I was sharing how I was doing “WORKS” and not WORSHIPPING!!!!
HAVE MERCY LORD!!!! This time I am WORKING and I have allowed WORK to impede my WORSHIP. While preparing for this post (quietly with nothing on my mind), I begin thinking about the work I needed to do so that I can be ready for WORK on Monday morning. THIS MORNING PRIOR TO POSTING I WAS THINKING ABOUT WORK. MY POSTS ARE AN HOMAGE TO GOD ALMIGHTY. MY LORD AND MY SAVIOR AND I AM SAVED IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND I AM THINKING ABOUT WORK!!!!
“…O WHAT PEACE WE FORFEIT…”. SO I AM REPOSTING, BUT INSTEAD OF WORKING ON MYSELF FOR THE GLORY OF THE LORD, I WAS WORKING AND NOT WORSHIPPING!!!
“O WHAT PEACE WE FORFEIT.!!!..” HAVE MERCY LORD THAT I AM NOT GIVING YOU EVERYTHING IN PRAYER!!!
I’m BACK. I want to “say” that I was on holiday and did not post anything. That’s NOT my story and I am NOR sticking to it. Being on holiday (Christmas break) was and is a plausible reason to take a break. You know family, friends, peace on Earth and good will toward men. As I type this, I am rationalizing, “GOD….. says that there is a time to rest, and created the Sabbath and HE RESTED.” For I was truly tried. NO TIED- T-I-E=D(my word for tired). That’s what I SAID. And it is so far AWAY from the REAL TRUTH.
FOR REAL, FOR REAL-I had overextended and over-committed myself in WORKS. No, this is not “I was so busy helping others that I forgot to do something for myself..” That’s not it at all. I was TOO busy doing and being for MYSELF-not selfishly or narcissistically but really focusing on BEING and DOING what I am PURPOSED FOR. I was doing the WORK, even the WORK that I abhor (asking GOD for ZEAL in all things for it’s for HIS GLORY).
I was (AM) WORKING SO that I forgot to WORSHIP. Oh, I prayed and thanked GOD, but I did not (AM NOT) spend (SPENDING) time, QUALITY time with HIM. You KNOW that time when YOU Can JUST BE!!! NO BIG WORDS needed or DESIRED by HIM, JUST BEING with HIM, PURPOSEFULLY and INTENTIONALLY BEING WITH HIM. KNOWING how I NEED, DESIRE and WANT TO HONOR GOD IN ALL THINGS, I FORGOT (FORGET) TO WORSHIP. and it showed (IS SHOWING-EXTREMELY AGITATED). I WAS (AM) SO busy WORKING (focusing on BEING and DOING what I am PURPOSED FOR) (NOT THIS TIME, I WAS WORKING MY JOB) that I became (AM) tired and I JUSTIFIED not posting (it was during the holiday and I need a break, (TOO AGITATED TO THINK). WHILE TRYING TO TYPE THINK, I TYPED TEACH-WORKING HAS CONSUMED ME-HELP LORD!!!!!
“…O WHAT PEACE WE FORFEIT…”
I realized that I should have been (SHOULD BE) WORSHIPPING WHILE I WAS (AM) Working, WORSHIPPING WHEN I WAS (AM) WORKING and WORSHIPPING WHERE I WAS (AM) WORKING. Had I been (IF I AM) WORSHIPPING, there would have not been a “NEED” for an extended holiday and I would have posted prior to this.
WORSHIP-Balances ME. WORSHIP Directs ME. WORSHIP Grounds ME. WORSHIP Humbles ME. WORSHIP Overwhelms ME. WORSHIP Reminds ME…….
HE LOVES me in SPITE of ME and that it is the reason that I can say with confidence and boldness……
…Nothing will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS…..”
