He is enough

Today I was listening to the new Hillsong album, This is our God, and had a deeper revelation that I have a reason to worship God no matter life circumstances. It is a simple reason, and I felt kinda dumb for not really getting it before now. The reason is that He is God, will always be God, and will never change. Duh!

"All of my life/ in every season/ You are still God/ I have a reason to sing/ I have a reason to worship." Desert Song, This is Our God, Hillsong

I couldn't tell you how many times I listened to it, but it was many. This song resonates deep within and will probably be an anthem for my life. We all will walk through the desert, be put in the fire, fight a battle and reap a harvest. However, the one thing that remains constant through all seasons of life is that God is still God, and that alone is reason enough to worship. No matter all the crazy stuff that has and will happen in life, God is still God and that should be enough for me to continue to worship.

If you read my 'It's not mine anymore...' post, then you know that my recent prayers have been for sanctification. More specifically, that God would show me how to "draw from Jesus the very holiness that was exhibited in Him, and that He now exhibits in me" , and to live it in the practicalities and details of life, not just in the major decisions. Choosing to align the nuances of my life with God is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but with this new revelation, depth has been added to my perspective of sanctification. It has allowed me to see that even when life disappoints (and it will), I can worship God with full confidence that He will never disappoint. He is ALWAYS God. It seems so simple, and I think I have always known this on some level, but today it went much deeper into my mind and soul.

This struggle for sanctification is a battle I am happy to fight now rather than later on in life. I hope that this battle will make a way for future generations to have a more intimate relationship with God than I may ever know.
