I had an interesting experience yesterday. I was planning what I was going to do for the day, which was basically give the house an overhaul, when I got up to get started and heard “No.” I stopped for a second to make sure I heard this and then I heard “This is My day.” Okay, I thought Lord. Well, what am I supposed to do on your day. He said, “Sit down.” From that point forward, at different points throughout the day, He shared with me what He wanted me to be doing. God instructed me to clean on Monday. He wanted me to rest, watch World Harvest Live, play with the kids, not watch TV, spend time outside, eat dinner at the table as a family and enjoy the day.
I guess the thing that threw me was that what He wanted me to do seemed like a lot of play when I had so much housework to do. I was thinking that getting the house in order for my family was giving Him glory when it was actually not His hearts desire for me. What I learned as the day went on was that He wanted me to worship Him with my time. God desired for me to seek Him first to learn how He wanted me to spend my time and then go worship Him His way.
Yesterday was a great reminder that we can get really busy thinking we are doing something for the Lord when we are actually far off base. He has a plan for us everyday, but especially on His Day.
Have you asked Him how He wants you to worship Him on His Day? Not just during your church services, but before and after church service.
I learned that the whole entire day is important to Him.
Peace be with you…
