I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
Psalm 34:1 NIV
Join me, as we leap into in the living water of our God.
Swimming was my recreational fitness program years ago. Once, during my daily swim, like a splash, the Lord cannonballed an idea within my thoughts. An idea, I will refer to as the “ABC Challenge.”
It was a call to worship.
During the mile long swim, my soul became immersed in worshipping the Lord from
A to Z. Bubbling up from within me were springs of praise. My heart spouted the attributes of God, wading through the letters of the alphabet. This free-flowing meditation propelled me deeper into the living waters of our Lord. Though my exercise regimen has changed, the “ABC Challenge” has remained the same.
I extend this challenge to you; especially, for when the days are challenging. The bellyflops of life sting; yet, when we offer due praise to our God worship soothes the wound. A wave of healing washes over our soul. What an amazing fount of love! When we pour out; He pours in. A glorious cycle of heavenly rain reigns down on us when we worship Him.
Come. Be refreshed in the living waters of our God.
Dive in!
Let us praise Him at all times from… A to Z!
