How do we not fall into a hit or miss life of worshiping God? While there’s no easy answer, there’s a few things you can do:
1. Set up daily reminders
There will be trials you face in the future that may threaten the very foundations of your faith. You need to remind yourself that God is good; that He is for you and not against you. Post promises on your wall, in your car, whatever you need to do to be reminded of His faithfulness.
2. Protect your personal worship time
Did you spend time with Jesus today? Don’t condemn yourself if you didn’t, but get back to it. The more you resist, the easier it becomes to resist, and the more self-sufficient your life becomes. You forget God. Protect that daily time at His feet.
3. Wait on God
Psalm 106 says Israel “did not wait for his (God’s) counsel.” Don’t pretend to know more than God does. If you’re in a season of delayed answers, be active in your worship as you wait on His voice.
4. Set your alarm
I find that if I don’t set my alarm I will sleep in and when that happens I feel rushed and out of sorts. Make sure that worship is a part of your life plan and then, set your alarm so that you live the plan.
Remind yourself to remember. This is one of the greatest tactics of the enemy – to cause you to forget what God has done. He loves to make you doubt God’s faithfulness, goodness, and purpose for your life.
Shine On!
