If you have been in church for any length of time you have answered or heard the question “what do you do for God?” Which inevitably that question comes with all kinds of answers. As someone who grew up in church, I have heard the numerous incredible things God has enabled His children to do in His name.
This morning as I had an empty house, which a very rare, I found myself, music cranked up dancing throughout the house.
I know… I shocked myself more than you!
After I tuckered myself out dancing (which probably looked more like galloping) I just laid on the floor, talking to Him. Telling Him thank you for all that He has done. Thanking Him for giving me a dance…. I feel like so often out of a desire to appear worthy to Him and others, I or we begin to label everything we have accomplished in His name. We even speak of going to church as what can you do, or what can you give. It’s not about us, it’s about Him….
But somehow we have missed the first step of it really being about Him. Our testimony becomes riddled with all the accomplishments we have done for Him.
I have missed the testimony of what has He done for me?
Well, this morning He gave me a dance for an audience of One.
He truly desires our hearts and our worship above all else.
Please share with me, what has He done for you?
But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.
Singers and dancers alike say,
“All my springs are in you.”
