We’re all on a journey, right? And none of us have this thing figured out, right? Especially worship…I hope I never think that I have a handle on it. Bc then what would I have to look forward to if worship is revelation based? That means I would have discovered all there is to know about God…which we all know isn’t possible. So, that means we’re all on a road leading us somewhere spiritually. Hopefully to revelation.
A friend sent me this song idea and I decided to put it on the album. Many of they lyrics really speak to me personally. But one line that I just love is in v2… “release dead weight for elevation.” I reflect on the scripture in Hebrews 12:1-3 (from the Message translation) “Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!”
What inspiration…keep the faith, and see the road that God has for you.
