"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1
Today was a very good Lord's day. It's always good to be at worship and be able to bring your troubles in life and leave them at the door. It's always good to be able to go to a place and feel renewed and bring glory to the God of the Universe.
Worship is a special place for all of us to be. I worry all week long about petty things yet when I go to Church I never seem to fret about anything. As many people feel that worship is boring and not upbeat enough and doesn't fulfill their needs, they have the wrong interpretation of it.
Worship is a renewing of the mind a place where we get together and worship The God above. We meet with others to get strengthening, to be with others who face the same fears as we do. It's not a rock concert or a place where the preacher runs around hitting people in the head and pretends he can rid you of your demons or make you cured of a handicap or illness, that is the Lord's job. It is a place of thanksgiving, a place to bring praise and renew our minds of Christ and prepare us for the week ahead.
Worship prepares us for what exactly this verse above states. We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses that helps us throw off our sin and prepares us with perseverance and strength so that we can run the race marked out for us. As soon as we leave the worship scene and walk out those doors Satan is right there ready to sink his teeth in us.
Make going to worship services a habit and see how it can change your life today and for the future. I hope we all make time for The Lord this week. Make time to read His Word and pray all the time. You'll feel much better if you do. Have a good week and I pray for your safety and well being - Clint
