Worship With Me

I started out doing worship ministry when I was still a kid. 

I was born to be a worship minister. Worship is my calling. It is a calling I share.

We are all called to worship. As human beings it is part of our purpose to worship the Lord.

Especially as Christians – once you have experienced the love of our Savior, how could we do anything other than love Him?

This is what this devotional is about – worship. The many countless ways in which God loves, cares and carries – and the many ways in which we receive and respond.

A while ago I started writing these reflections based on popular worship songs.

Sometimes the connections between the song and the devotional are as clear as day and night. Other times the links are more obscure. Nonetheless, God wants us to think deeper about the songs we sing – they are more than just words.

Whether you are a worship pastor sharing these devotionals with your team, a worship leader gleaning truths to share during corporate worship as interludes between songs, or just a worshiper at home growing in your love for and relationship with the Lord and His people – I hope that you will gain in reading this as much as I do in writing these little morsels.

Jireh: He Sees To Your Needs

Jireh: He Sees To Your Needs

Jesus encourages us to store up treasures in Heaven – to seek the righteousness of the Kingdom of God. To come to a place of reverence, relationship and revelation in our walk with Him.

Nothing on this earth – nothing in this life – can satisfy.

True peace, contentment and joy can only be found in Christ.
