So last night I was fortunate to go to an amazing night of worship at the God is Able tour. I have been lucky enough to see United a few times but I have never been to a Hillsong concert/night of worship. Every United worship night I've been to has been amazing. I honestly thought we were going to see United again and I'll admit I was kinda bummed when I found out that is was going to be Hillsong. I know they are pretty much the same but I've always liked United just a little bit more because they are a little more upbeat in my opinion.
So before worship started I just sat in my seat and asked the Lord to revive me, change my heart and my attitude. The reason for this is because lately I've noticed that I have been feeling a little blah. Don't really know how else to describe it. My walk with the Lord isn't necessarily bad or my faith any less than it usually is. I have just been feeling like my heart, attitude, and my mind needed to be refocused. I have been praying for this last month for the Lord to restore my excitement, to restore my passion, to sum it up to reignite a fire in me. I had been a little discouraged because I have been feeling like nothing has really changed. So last night before worship started I just asked the Lord to make this night the night that everything would change, and it did!
Last night wasn't just an amazing time of worship for me, it was a time of healing and refreshing . It wasn't because the worship was amazing because when you worship with thousands of people the feeling of God's presence is indescribable. It wasn't because the worship set was incredible because it was. I truly feel the reason for this time of healing and refreshing was because I was just reminded of all the wonderful things God has done for me. It's so incredible how we can get caught up in the supernatural things of God. I'm not saying those things aren't worth getting caught up in, but I believe God works without these supernatural events. Going to this event I was hoping God would speak to me through an amazing word by the Hillsong pastor or that one of the singers would have had an amazing word or prayer but it didn't happen that way. All I did was be reminded through the lyrics of these songs about how great and awesome Jesus is.
I was revived by simply being reminded of how good God is. It wasn't a supernatural crazy event, it was taking the time to be reminded of what a great and wonderful God we serve. I share this because I believe that this is something that we should do not just at a concert or church service but this is something we should always do. By doing this we could be freed of all the worries, all the anxieties of life, and all the junk that is holding us down and taking away our joy. So my prayer for us today is that we would be revived by remembering and focusing on how great and wonderful our God truly is. I pray that we would daily renew our minds so we could be freed from the chains that are holding us down, in Jesus name!!!
