From High to High
The stone was forever rolled away. Death could not contain Him, the bars of sin were broken as Hades could not confine our Lord Jesus.He is Alive! Why should we look among the dead to find life? He is Alive and here! (Matt 28:2-9) When was the last time you anticipated to wake up, just to run and clasp to the foot of Jesus in worship?
What is the real significance of worship? Is it limited to a single day out of the week or year? It seems to have come down to a piece of music, a cross and a church service.
Like wrappers from a piece of candy, are we enjoying the momentary thrill and giving God the left overs; or will He find our lives daily giving Him true worship? We celebrate Jesus this Easter Sunday, but is this the only day we worship God until Christmas?
Like Sunday after Sunday, worship doesn’t seem to be fresh and new, until we hit the next high seasonal church time of the year. What does, or would an everyday lifestyle of worship look like – beyond the wrappings of Easter? Does our praise and worship rise daily of God – resurrected each morning from our sleep? Does our giving of thanks awaken from the darkness?
Does our gratitude break forth from the grave? Does our worship shout a loud, yet morning by morning, come humbly to His feet? Worship is a response.
Daily Worship Life
It is responding to who God is according to His Word, Work, Truth, Personhood and Spirit. [ctt template=”10″ link=”w8l7O” via=”no” ]Worship is also extravagant love. It is more than an attitude; it is an act.[/ctt] Immeasurably, it would take beyond a life time to fully love God in all extravagance.In fact, I’m not sure this could be done, until we are Home and forever with the Lord. But how do we live each day in worship to God? Is daily worship to God just for pastors, clergy and ministers? Take a look into the Word of God and see how each person lived their life in response to the Scriptures.
You will find that those who lived daily by the word of God, walked in worship. Those who lived in opposition did not find God, but walked into their end. So when it comes to Easter, when it comes to daily living, are we still looking for the wrappings of His clothes, going about life wondering of His whereabouts, seeking as if He can’t be found?
Rather, are we seeking Him to be found in us, experiencing our Ever-Present Living Lord Jesus in the here and now, living in His Resurrected glory, and allowing His robe, to wrap around us daily? So how do we live each day, rising to praise and worship God, making it an every day Easter celebration?
A true worshiper (John 4.23) acts out of will. Stirred into action by the Holy Spirit and the Truth of His Word. Working with our emotions, we find how His holiness satisfies our every need. Worship involves our entire lives. What kind of worshiper are you: one that seeks Him daily to worship, or just only twice a year?
The kind of worship we give to God, is equal to the quality he finds in our worship. When he does come and find you daily, will He find the left overs, or a life that is fully surrendered and satisfied as a daily sacrifice?
Jesus said in John 4.23: “for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” Each day we find more reasons to praise, to express our thanks to God for His Kingship, Authority and Love overall and for His gift of life itself.

Psalm 95
Then we are led into worship as we come and bow before His footstool. We see an outline that begins with praise and is ushered into worship by Psalm 95:Here marks the opening praise of God; Our call to worship:
1 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
Here marks why we praise God and remember what He has done:
3 For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. 5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
Here marks how we bring our praise into the worship of God / responding to HIs love and care:
6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; 7 for he is our Godand we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.
Worship changes the worshiper. You can see worship through their job, they way the interact at home, they way they serve at church and the way they live in their communities. God does the changing in a person’s life as they spend their time daily with Him.
The melody shifts and changes over-time as the song of the Gospel is always with us. Worship is submission to God. It is for a lifetime, not a single event. Because of the Cross and His Resurrection we are blameless and forgiven.
Our hearts have been sprinkled from a guilty conscience as we are finally able to draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. (Heb 10.22). Let us draw near to Him daily.
As it is written in Matt28.9 “Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.” So run to Him, daily and clasp to the foot of Jesus in praise and worship.
[ctt template=”10″ link=”b8Rg2″ via=”no” ]Worship is not confined just to Easter, nor to a single celebration. Worship is on-going, like a song that never ends.[/ctt]
He is Risen!
May we sing of His power, and to live sacrificial lives of worship. Not as left overs, but let us be found as the kind of worshiper the Father is seeking. May our praise and worship be for the praise of His glory. Happy Easter / He Has Risen!!@BranonDempsey @worshiptt @WorshipTTU
