Oh Come Let Us Adore Him

You know what I have been learning this Christmas?

I've been learning that I don't think I have a clue what REAL adoration looks like. I am kind of scared to say that on here, cause who knows how many people may feel like its so easy to just adore the Lord...but I don't know that I take time to really just adore the Lord.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Lord with all my heart. Thinking and dwelling with Him in my heart throughout the day makes life full and meaningful. It gives my life purpose.

But worshiping in true adoration. I think I have a lot to learn. I don't quite know how to approach this except to just say, "Jesus, I need to learn how to just adore and rejoice in you."

Often times I get freaked out, cause I just don't know how to figure out things. Like in this instance, I don't know how to learn how to truly adore the Lord. I see examples of it in Psalms, but that is not exactly a practical "how-to". Sometimes, this accounting oriented brain would just like a simple "how-to".

The one thing I know though, is that even though there is not a "how-to"....God is faithful. I know with all assurance that if I seek Him, He will be faithful to answer. He may not give me a "how-to", but what He will give me will be a wonderful answer like I could have never imagined.

Lord, teach me how to praise you, teach my heart how to rejoice in your name always, guide my heart to sing praises as David did...teach me how to love you more.

Psalm 150

A Psalm of Praise.
1Praise the LORD!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty expanse.
2Praise Him for His mighty deeds;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.
3Praise Him with trumpet sound;
Praise Him with harp and lyre.
4Praise Him with timbrel and dancing;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe.
5Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with resounding cymbals.
6Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD!
