"I love my life!" I can say this with joy this morning Saints knowing that this is real for me and in me.
Pastor Rodney made this powerful statement/question last night "what does it cost to walk in the
same power/glory as Jesus did (Lk 4:6-7). satan himself says to us WORSHIP. Satan told Jesus if
you will worship me all of this can be yours. We Saints of God just have to WORSHIP the correct ONE
(THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY).
Keep reading I am going somewhere this morning (smile)
Pastor also said that when God told Adam to cultivate and dress the ground in the Garden of Eden, He
was telling him to produce. If Adam had done this thing correctly he should have had to go to God
and say "hey dad, I did what you asked me; but now I need more land. I have so produced/developed
what you gave me, I need more land to do more." Yes this is the same concept God gives to us to be
faithful over few things then He will make us ruler over much more.
God told Adam to cultivate, tend and dress the ground. The word DRESS in the Hebrew is Abad
aw-bad. This is powerful! This word means to administrate, to serve, to cause something to come to
pass by........; to implement or execute as in the ingenious working of an idea.
Adam could have made this thing as big, powerful and creative as he wanted to, but instead he lost it
to the enemy.
Look at this Saints!
The word DRESS is also translated as WORSHIP!!!!! God told Adam to worship. Adam's work was
worship.
Ahhh, you really mean my 9 to 5, my driving the kids back and forth to school, my duties as a stay at
home mom or dad, my cooking dinner, my mowing the yard...MY WORK is worship?
You know I retired 1 Sep 08 from 20 years as a soldier in the Army. And to transition into being a stay
at home mom has been a real challenge to say the least. I have held a public job since I was 15 years
old and sometimes to clean, cook, tend to the dogs, fish, house and all that goes with it can seem like
a never ending, uphill maze. Where is the end of day gratification because I can see what I actually
accomplished? How do I have joy when my spotless floor is tracked up immediately by my 3 year old
daughter? Where is the satisfaction when the things you do day after day seem to sometimes go
unnoticed?
IN MY WORSHIP. IT IS ALL RIGHT HERE IN MY WORSHIP. I LOVE MY LIFE. ALL THAT I OR YOU DO HAS
TO BE FOR THE LORD.
As Pastor Rodney said last night WORSHIP is not 2 fast songs and 3 slow ones, it is not only
experienced in a corporate setting of church on Sunday's and Wednesday nights. Worship is in my
every day completion, carrying out, cultivating, doing with joy all that my Father gave me to do.
God told me over a year ago. Stay at home with your daughter, help your husband by setting the
atmosphere in your home. Help him get his clothes together, welcome him when he comes home
with a hug and a smile. I LOVE MY LIFE AND I LOVE MY JOB FOR I LOVE TO WORSHIP.
I shared this with a lady as we dropped our daughters off to school this morning, she said; well let
me get to work; I said no let you get to WORSHIP. This has revolutionized my life.
In Exodus 3:12 the word Abad (serve) is again translated as worship. God told Moses to serve
(worship) upon this mountain. Whatever mountain God is calling you to today, whatever job He has
placed before you to do, know today that it is WORSHIP.
Be blessed Saints. I have more worship to do around my home so until next time....love YOUR life.
Pastor Gloria Weary
