There's something so beautiful about being in the presence of God and never needing to leave it because He live in me. There's something so beautiful about singing out the name of Jesus when life seems otherwise chaotic.
Worshiping our Saviour is the best remedy. I've lost count of the number of times I've just wanted to escape from myself. The number of times I've stuffed things up so bad that I wish I could wake up and realise that it was all a bad dream. In worshipping God I acknowledge how human I am, how full of flaws I am. In worship, we lay down our pride, we take off our 'royal robes' and declare that God is King over our lives. (2 Samuel 6)
I've been pondering on the power of worship in spiritual warfare both in our personal lives and as a corporate body of believers. The Church is constantly under attack from the enemy. The devil is constantly trying to pull apart the Body. There is something so significant, so profound, so powerful about a body of believers worshipping in the midst of spiritual warfare and in doing so, declaring the victory that God has already won for us and sending out such a strong message to the enemy. As a worship leader leading a body of believers into worship places you in the front line of the army.
In my own personal life I've found that singing out His praises in my darkest hour has been the moments where it seemed like God was reaching down in that very moment and being my shield from the flaming arrows of the enemy and this world. I have victory in Christ Jesus and if God is for us then who can be against us?
There's something so beautiful about being lost in the presence of God...That's where I'm at now.
