In the past few months, I have been agonizing over how I have felt like I was drifting further and further away from God. I felt like King David in the Psalms crying "Yahweh! Why do you hide your face from me!?" I would pray and pray and hear nothing, feel nothing, see nothing. It was breaking my heart.
Recently though, as I was meeting and talking with my mentor Katie about life, and how it was kicking my butt...royally...She brought up a question that BLEW MY MIND. She talked about how we have the opportunity to live with the question "God, how can I bring you glory in THIS moment?" This was a huge breakthrough for me. It gives the most simple and practical way to live in a constant state of worship, and praising God for the fact that HE IS HERE, whether we feel like it or not. Today was day one of really putting this into practice. I prayed that God would constantly bring this question to mind throughout the day, and that He would reveal Himself to me through it. Well I will tell you this my loves! He is wonderful at answering prayers in the strangest ways! I had asked Him to bring it to mind, but who would have thought it would be somewhere like in the shower!? But it was... Here I was, covered in suds and soaking wet, and all of the sudden the question just popped into my mind, and what could I do but to answer it? But can I really give God glory in the shower? The answer revealed to me was yes. God is everywhere. He is a part of every moment in our mundane, everyday lives, and He desires to be acknowledged and chosen by His children while He is walking with them. It is part of the joy of His love. The answer to our question then, "How can I bring You glory?" is by saying yes to Him. By acknowledging His presence in your life and by acknowledging who He is, you are bringing the focus of your heart, mind, soul, and strength back to Him. Worshiping Him, and Loving Him "Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'" Matthew 22:37
