Unhindered Worship

It is rare to come across a person who worships YHWH full-hearted and unhindered. It's so easy to get caught up in how you sound, or appear to your neighbors. More often than not, we get distracted and our focus drifts away from talking to God in song, and back to our own lives. Our minds drift, we drift, from thinking about God and His greatness to our selves and lunch ahead, or that girl in the fourth row, or trouble-shooting three different issues in our week...or anything BUT God. It's easy to do--have a distracted, disinterested heart in "worship." 

But think of this: YHWH is in Heaven, and it's closer than you think. He is sitting on a throne of power. Mighty creatures beyond our comprehension surround Him, hearts, knees, bodies bend low in honor to the glorious Ruler of the Universe. Melodies fill their souls and pour out in songs thronged together of the great and mighty deeds of YHWH, HIGH KING. His courts are robed in colors and jewels that our minds are not yet  broad enough to perceive or comprehend. His heart of love exudes from His Heavenly body, tangibly visible as a sunset mist throughout the room.

This is YHWH. This is the God who delivered Israel from Egypt with a mighty hand. This is the God who sent His Son to pave The Way for us to journey safely from earth to this Heavenly court, that we might join in the feast of love and joy, riches of the Great One's presence. And this One has ears that reach a small stone building on a Sunday morning to hear the love songs of His little ones. And He does not look at their clothes or hair, He looks straight at the hearts of His children. What will He see in ours, that Mighty King of Heaven?
