[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There is worship in a whisper.<\/p>\n

Can you really worship without saying a word?\u00a0 Ask someone who is deaf and you will have your answer.\u00a0 We tend to look at the outward expression, the vocal affirmations, of our faith and think we are loving our Lord.\u00a0 And yet, what if we weren\u2019t able to speak?\u00a0 What if we weren\u2019t able to move?\u00a0 Would that discount our worship?\u00a0 Would God discount you?<\/p>\n

The Bible tells us in 1 Samuel 16:7 that, although man looks at the outward appearance,<\/p>\n

God does not see as man sees\u2026\u201cthe Lord looks at the heart.\u201d<\/span><\/h1>\n

That should propel us into new depths with our Father.\u00a0 To know that we can be laid bare, our hearts spilled out before Him, without even uttering a single word.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • He sees our hearts.<\/li>\n
  • He knows our struggles.<\/li>\n
  • He is acquainted with our frailties.<\/li>\n
  • He has healed our iniquity.<\/li>\n
  • He truly loves us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    HOW DO WE RESPOND<\/strong><\/p>\n

    How do we begin to respond to a love like that?\u00a0 How do we adequately affirm our love for Him?\u00a0 Sometimes, it is done in the silence, as we simply sit in His presence and allow Him to pour His love on us.\u00a0 When Jesus visited with His friends at Bethany, Martha was busy with many preparations.\u00a0 She was ticked off because her sister was just sitting at the feet of Jesus, listening and drinking in His presence.\u00a0 When Martha complained to the Lord, He reminded her that Mary had chosen the better way.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    CHOOSE THE BETTER WAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s choose the better way.\u00a0 Let\u2019s languish at His feet.\u00a0 Let\u2019s find the healing, refreshing, joy, love, and peace that we need so desperately in this LOUD world.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s in your war room, prayer closet, or simply sitting at the foot of your bed, seek the Lord while He may be found.\u00a0 I promise you that He is waiting so eagerly and so patiently for you to just come and sit.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
