–Guest blog post by Paul Sims, Creative Arts and Administrative Pastor–
This past Sunday we showed a video that I had been excited about ever since we began planning our Worship Him series. We called the video A Life of Worship. The reason I was so excited about it was because we wanted to illustrate how worship is more than just what we experience together on Sunday mornings. How we worship God personally throughout the week has a tremendous impact on our relationship with Him.
If you didn’t get a chance to see the video this Sunday, here it is.
http://www.vimeo.com/9515271One of my favorite ways to worship God is to ponder who He is. Any little thing can set me off on a journey to learn something new about who God is, how He thinks, and how He loves. I can be sitting at a stop light and I’ll start thinking about how our eyes work and how God makes these little blobs in our heads capable of using chemicals and electrical pulses to see the most incredible things. It tells me that God has an intricate mind that engineers amazing things, but also has a taste for tremendous aesthetics in what He creates. He loves beauty and order.
In those few moments sitting at a stoplight I’m brought to my knees (not literally of course because that would be a bit difficult in the drivers seat), and I worship Him as I ponder who He is. Psalms 111:1-4 says:
1 Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart
as I meet with his godly people.
2 How amazing are the deeds of the Lord!
All who delight in him should ponder them.
3 Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty.
His righteousness never fails.
4 He causes us to remember his wonderful works.
How gracious and merciful is our Lord!
This week, how have you pondered who God is, or delighted in the great things He’s done in your life?
