Training Ourselves to Worship in ALL Circumstances

Worship sets people free. How much do you worship? When do you worship? Are you able to worship when your circumstances are the very worst? Do praise songs come to your mind at the most stressful times? We need to train ourselves to worship in all circumstances.

Paul and Silas were beaten, thrown in the inner prison and their feet were fastened in stocks. They were probably in too much pain to sleep, so at midnight they broke out in worship. They did not have a worship leader, instruments, power point, or a radio to sing along to. As a result, other prisoners listened to them and even better, everyone's chains were loosed. Worship set prisoners free.

In many ways, you may feel like a prisoner. You may have habits that you cannot break; you may find yourself in circumstances that have not changed and you may feel that God isn¹t answering your prayers.

What are you to do? Worship. Worship when you are sad, feel bad, and after you were mad. Worship every day, at work and at play, worship any way. Worship will change your life, and if you sing loud enough for others to hear, your worship may set them free as well.

Lord, help me to worship. Help me to learn more about worship this week. Bring songs to my mind so that worship can be my way of life. Change me through worship and allow me to see the fruit of worship in the lives of others around me. It's in Your holy name I praise, Amen.
