Worshiping God

Hey guys!
This week's readings have focused on worshiping God, which will be our focus for Sunday. The question for Monday made me think, where do I worship God?
While I believe it is important for us to have quiet times of devotion, in which we can worship God without distraction, sometimes we miss opportunities to worship God
as we go about our daily lives. Some time ago, I began asking God to open my eyes to His work around me, and to make me aware of times to pray and be with Him.
This has led to some incredible moments celebrating the small, everyday occurrences that are actually miracles of God's work.
It may sound cheesy, but these range from finding the parking space I needed, to help getting through some tough work or family situations. Since marrying Robby and having Kaylee in my life, this had led to some neat moments of getting to show her how to worship God in our daily lives as we thank God for leading us to the things we needed while shopping or thank Him for answering her prayers for a puppy.
I want to encourage you this week to seek God in all things in your life. Ask Him to reveal Himself and His working around you, and to provide opportunities to worship Him through your thanks and your life.
Blessings to you all!

I think it is important for all of us to realize that we don't have to wait until Sunday for praise and worship. Praise and worship, for me, is a daily thing - listening to uplifting music in my car, praying with my kids, seeing how they are learning, finding that special thing on sale when you check out at the store, not expecting it or finding that little bit of "extra" money in the checking account at the end of the month. The more I worship, the more I see that it isn't something I am doing just when I sing - it's an all day long thing.
