An experience like no other happened to me the other day. i was putting Elias to bed at night and we were doing our usual read a book, sing, then go to bed. i typically sing worship songs, and it often becomes more of a time of worship with me and the Lord. the lights are dim, we are rocking, and it is quiet. so the atmosphere is perfect! i began a song i have been singing to Elias for over 8 months now...
Worthy is the
Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is He.
Sing a new song
to Him who sits on
heaven's mercy seat.
Holy Holy Holy
is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come.
To all creation i sing
priase to the king of kings
you are my everything and i will
adore YOU!...
because this is often a time i use for my own personal worship, my eyes were closed as they ofen are. all i could hear was Elias saying "louder, louder..." and him singing each word along with me. we are belting out the song and i open my eyes to see my son, hands raised in the air to God singing "holy, holy holy!"
i sat there in awe, rocking my baby, crying. thinking of all the responsibility i have in these little ones. i so often think of the check list i have to do to make sure they "come to know Jesus". i get down on myself wondering "did i do enough today? did we read enough scripture today? did i get in all the life lessons when the opportunities were presented to me?" the list is endless. but my sweet Elias showed me, yet again, that it is in my life that shows my children who Jesus is. all the other stuff is extremely important too. but Jesus said "let the little children come to me" and i must remember to consistently lead each one to Him.
take some time today to worship the Lord in the midst of your children. Your example will lead to their emulation!
you can start right now by sitting back and listening to this song. then take that worship into your life today...
just scroll down to turn off background music then enjoy...
