🙌 It's the Friday Call to Worship! 🙌
I come from a long line of celebrators and joy-finders. I am an optimist by nature thanks to my upbringing. Lately, I've noticed doubt and earth-level rationalism lacing my thought patterns. I've hesitated over praying for something when logic and circumstances clearly point another direction. I've sought to protect myself from what seems like another unanswered prayer.
My hope has hinged on what happens instead of the One who is steady and true. As I've gathered to pray with other women this week, my flesh has wanted to shy away from praying the same prayer requests I've been praying for seven years. I've internally questioned, "Is it worth it?
You know what's not worth it? Not hoping.
You know what's not working? Thinking life is all about what's in front of me.
I was brought up to look on the bright side when things are hard. Even more significantly, my new DNA in Christ says that the limitations of this world don't apply to me anymore. I come from a Family that turns water into wine, makes dry bones dance, and walks on water.
This week's call to worship is to choose your reality. Today I'm speaking to the stubborn mountains in my heart and commanding my dry bones to dance. I am a child of God, and not even death can hold me down! Listen to Chris McClarney's "Speak to the Mountains" and claim the lineage of the Family that claimed you before you were even born.
