Galatians 2:20

For I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live. But Christ lives in me. The life I live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave His life for me

Sold Out to Worship

Okay, some of you know that I haven't exactly been in a great time recently, but this is just something that came across my mind.

When you're at church, bible study, campaigners, youth group, or whatever, and you're starting the time off with worship, why aren't we all just sold out at that point? Myself included. I'm just saying, there are many reasons why we should worship the Lord, probably with more freedom than we would if we were by ourselves, when we're with a group of people.

Reason 1: You're only worshiping the God of the Universe here, people! I don't have to tell you this, but in all honesty, He created you, and all your friends, and everything you know. Good and bad. It's amazing how that doesn't make us excited anyway. Also, He is the reason we can worship anyway! So why don't we worship Him completely sold out to His love? He's done so much for us, we could at least act joyful at the fact that we can worship Him.

Reason 2: Energy flows freely. I believe that if we were to start being sold out when we worship, then we could spark something, and next thing you know, everyone is sold out! I know that personally if I see someone I am friends with worshiping Him freely, then I am more likely to start worshiping freely. Maybe it's time we started being sold out in worship. People will get more hype when they see other people getting hype. It's just how the system works. I would love nothing more than to see a whole room of people freely worshiping the Lord.... Well, prayer overnight doesn't count haha.

Reason 3: The point of worship is to focus on God. What better why to get focused on the Lord than to be sold out to Him in worship? Not only will it help you focus on Him, but I do believe that it will help you want to be more sold out for Him. It's like a good breakfast in the morning. It gets things started out right. I think that more people would be focused if we were sold out in worship to the Lord

So yeah, being sold out in worship isn't an easy thing to do, but there are many good reasons we should be.

I love you guys!
