Choose To Worship God In Spite Of It All

One of my favorite characters in the Bible is David. When you really take a look at his life, he went through some drama. Being overlooked by his own father, chased by the King of Israel, living in caves with a bunch of rejects, committing adultery and murder and being punished with the death of the resulting child, watching his children commit heinous acts towards each other... The man had a lot going on.

Yet he was still a man who chased after God's heart. He was still a worshipper in God's presence. His love for God was so deep that God promised that the Messiah would come from David's line.

The book of Psalms stands as a testament for the drama and emotions that David went through. Yet with every Psalm and every song of despair, the common thread of God's greatness, majesty and love shone through. No matter what David was facing, he never lost sight of the greatness of his God.

We too should take a page from David and continue to remember God's greatness and love. No matter what drama is swirling on around you, continue to chase after God's heart. Keep pressing into God's presence remembering the awesomeness of His love.

There is nothing you can do that will keep you from God's love. All it takes from you is a contrite spirit and God will wipe your slate clean and welcome you back into His arms. Don't let the drama keep you from the greatness of God's love. Use every situation as an opportunity to lift up the mighty God that you serve.

Today take a moment and read a Psalm. Remember, it's not about what's going on around you, it's about the One who's living in you.

Have a great day!

Verse of the Day: Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 43:4, 5
