Two blog post today!!
Yesterday, I got goosebumps and well I still get them when I think about this.
I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church with a hymnal in my hands at worship time. We never dreamed of lifting our hands in praise, prayer or worship. When we went to large gatherings of youth I would see kids raising their hands and I would find that strange. No one ever explained to me that that was a form of worship. I now go to a somewhat Southern Baptist church but we sing contemporary songs and oh the power I feel when offering my hands up to the Lord in worship and prayer. I'm not saying you can't be moved by a hymn, because you definitely can!
Yesterday our pastor read this verse to us. Hebrews 2:12 "He says,"I will declare your name to my brothers;in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises." This is Jesus talking!!
Now wherever two or more are gathered in his name, Jesus is there too. When you are in your church on Sunday mornings worshipping God, Jesus is right there with you. I lift my hands in praise or prayer to God when a song moves me to do so, imagine how sJesus' worships his father.
Goosebumps!!!
I had never thought of it in that sense. Yes, I've always known where two or more are gathered in His name, He is there also, but the worship side of it. I just never pictured it until yesterday. Powerful!! Stop and worship Him where ever you are, no matter what time of day!
