PRACTICING PERSONAL WORSHIP:
Personal worship requires TIME (continual cultivation and nurturing). Personal worship consists of more than prayer and singing (a combination of everything).
Personal worship is the opportunity to get quiet and listen to God, focusing and listening to the heartbeat of God. It is a time to offer prayers to God, offer worship to God, and tell Him what He means to us; drawing near to God and seeking the Holy Spirit. It is a great time to respond to God and what He means to us. Personal worship is giving God the opportunity to speak into our lives, without us talking.
Assignment: Take a half an hour this week and get away from people. Bring your Bible, a notebook, and music (a guitar, keyboard, or CD’s). Spend time singing praises, raising up prayer requests, and most importantly listening to what God has to say. Take time at the end of your personal worship time to sit, stand, lie down, or walk in silence. God rarely shouts! Unless we shut our mouths, we will never be able to hear the whisper of the Spirit.
