and He showed up...

Since the Holy Spirit dwells within those who yield to Jesus Christ, do you ever wonder when He is going to move and shake us up? It is on the days when there are visable aclaimations of the personal interaction between the spirit of God and His bride that refuel me. I don't know what it was about the worship we offered up on 7/8, but Sandals seemed to be stirred in a way that reflects kingdom activity. Upon further thought, is it really that He showed up, or did we just finally notice the sin that had so easily entaglled us?

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12

During worship I could not stop from repeating this in the moments I was not being the awesome back-up singer I am. Outward sin is noticed by all but the inward sin in my own heart matters just as much. Hmmm...caught red handed...and it feels good...
