I’m a musical person, singing for just about any reason and
at any time. This includes grocery
stores, gas stations, home, work, or just walking down the sidewalk. As much as I love music and to worship my God
through music, I love how there are beautiful elements of worship all around
us. Like a banner spread across the sky,
the scarlet, crimson, blue, and tangerine oranges coloring a sunset paint an extravagant
and elegant view of praise. The way the
feathers on an eagle wing bends as it cuts through the air, showing worship in
the subtleties of creation, serves as an illustration. It is the sparrows in the bush outside the
kitchen, singing their songs that speak to my heart, I praise with them in
their songs. It is the cardinal in the
snow bush, puffing up to hold in warmth and creating such a striking view in
the snow. It is the first greening of
the spring moss as the snow crystals start melting. It is the coo of a dove and the laugh of a
baby. It is the first daffodil of
spring, one of a host to bloom. It is
the sound of a family laughing, of work being accomplished, of efforts being
made, and hurts being healed. Worship is
all of this and so much more.
These words are
written out on a post-it at my desk; not on a fancy plaque or special piece of
art, just a little yellow post-it. “And
whatever you do, whether
in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” These words in Colossians 3 are my reminder of
how worship is not a one size, sound, color sort of act. It is so much bigger! These are just a few of things that remind m-e
of and help me celebrate Jesus.
