This weekend I’m stepping away from the noise. Yes, I have good noise and bad noise in my life. Alot of information tends to surround our lives, for better or for worse and it usually blocks me emotionally. Does this happen to you? I’m headed to dip my toes in the sand one last time for the season and breath in the grandeur of God via His big ocean. I feel my best way to continue this feast of worship, I must recharge and take in His goodness in a meaningful way.

You don’t have to make the trek to the ocean to do this too. Where is your quiet space? Where is it that you can simply be? What do you need to clear away in order to tune in?

Just Press In 

They will not be silent; they will talk of the grandeur of Your kingdom

and celebrate the wonder of Your power
Until everyone on earth who has ears to hear knows Your valiant acts
and the splendor of Your kingdom.
Your kingdom will never end;

Your rule will endure forever.
You are faithful to Your promise,
and Your acts are marked with grace.

The Eternal sustains all who stumble on their way.
For those who are broken down, God is near. He raises them up in hope. (Psalm 145:12-14)

Oh Jesus! Revive our souls with the knowledge of Your grandeur and spur us forward to declare Your fame until… We know that when we clear away the clutter in our heart and mind, we reenergize our worship in which You are due. Bless our time of recharging this weekend, Lord.

Pour Out

Something has to give, though, when we step away in order to recharge and fill up. There is a sacrifice. When we disconnect in order to reconnect with our Creator an open hand is necessary. An unclenching must occur. Pride? Unclench the thoughts that lead us to think our ways our higher. Jealousy? Let go of looking over the fence to check out the “grass that is always greener” on the other side. Ungratefulness? Drop our entitled attitude. The list could go on. I’m naming the big ones that I tend to grip tightly on a regular basis. What would yours be?

Pour Forth

Our Psalm 145 invites us to praise and praise and praise Him again until…until all who have ears to hear knows His amazing works. To me, this looks like I need to keep pouring forth until…well…does there need to be a time limit? But, we can’t effectively tell our stories if we muddled and full of everything but adoration for our King. The recharging and reconnecting is our key to living out the until mandate from Scripture. Will you be able to keep going until?

If we ask for eyes to see, He will deliver. Will you unclench, recharge, reconnect and then pour forth until?
