Worship – Pastor Dave

I was thinking about worship today.How worship effects our life in so many ways. But specifically worship in regards to our daughter Faith. Many are aware of her history. That we were told she was blind and would probably die before age one. However, by the grace of God she is still here. She can find a penny on brown carpet. Praise God!
Faith is a worshipper. She has always loved music. It seems music is the language of the soul. There are certain songs that I listen to that can transcend my soul and spirit into another realm. The same is true with Faith. Yesterday in worship she was making a joyful noise with all her heart. Some may not consider it a joyful sound. But to Faith it is joyful. She can’t pronounce syllables or phrases but the noise that eminates from her lips surely gives the Father’s heart joy. Faith squeals really loud and then may begin to clap or swing her arm.
Its amazing, because Faith wants to sing and can’t and many times we can and won’t.
There is a liberty and an abandonment in her worship that attracts the heart of God. Maybe we don’t realize it, but I’m sure she’s cognitive of it. I believe the Lord is doing something within her that we haven’t recognized yet.
The Bible says, God is seeking for true worshippers, to worship in spirit and in truth. Well, God doesn’t have to seek for Faith. She’s always ready to respond when she hears music. Even when she’s having a seizure, which can be as simple as an eye flutter. Faith does her best, if music is playing, to squeal, or swing her arms. Shouldn’t we be that way? No matter what’s happening with us or drowning us, shouldn’t we do our best to worship?
Faith’s response to life, which we realize is limited, has taught me so very much. So I think I’ll take a break and worship.
