For me every day is a holiday. The word holiday comes from the Old English word for holy day. For me, every day I am alive is a special holy day — a gift that God has dished up for me. Lord, how do You want me to worship You?
How awesome is the work that the Lord will do for us if we will humble ourselves and pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways. The Lord is looking for people to worship Him in spirit and in truth — who will honestly listen to the Spirit and obey His inner prompting instead of our own personal preferences and comfort zone.
I know of a young woman who recently had a radical encounter with Jesus. Now she gets up and runs around the room (during a worship service) when she feels moved by the Holy Spirit. Quite a few people are shocked and/or offended by her physical approach to worship, but she is courageous enough to do it anyway. I’ve not seen her do this, but I am sure I would be somewhat shocked as well (like Kind David’s wife was when he spontaneously danced before the Lord in public).
I want to be more like that young woman. I want to be freer to say and do whatever the Spirit leads me to, regardless of what people might think about me. Jesus may never call me to run around the room during a worship service, but if He does, I want to be willing to hear Him and be ready to roll. I don’t want to quench His Spirit even when Jesus prompts me to do something that will make me look strange or foolish to people.
