We had a family worship night last night at our church. It was beautiful. During the course of the night, it was explained to us that the picture created in Revelations 4 is the habitat of God Himself. Just as a fish dwells in water, we dwell in oxygen, God dwells in worship. Worship bridges our habitats, so to speak, so that we can be in God's presence. Sort of like putting on scuba gear so that we can dwell in the ocean with the sea creatures.
Worship is our scuba gear, or our spacesuit. It was a wonderful time with our family, taking communion, praying over our kids and bonding spiritually. Each of our kids came home excited and joyful. What a gift!
I'm opting for a distraction fast this week. No facebook, random internet searches, t.v. or other mindless zoning out. I hope to spend more time journaling, blogging, doing laundry, reading, worshiping and engaging in real conversation with my family. I also have studying and normal house stuff to do, but I desire for my focus to be on "things above" as Colossians 3 encourages me.
