Every Knee Shall Bow

Dear King of Kings,

Today is a glorious day because you are on your thrown.  You always have and you always will be in charge of the universe.  I pray today that your name would be shouted and praised like never before all over the world.  You are worthy of every last breath I have left in my body.  Saturate your church with love and lead us to spread the gospel to those who are lost and can't find you.

Amen

I've been a church goer all my life.  I was raised going there on Sundays and singing along to each song that the band would play.  Usually I would go just because my parents were going and it was the thing to do.

Well, within the past five years or so I've been seeking God on my own and truly discovering what He is all about.  Now when I attend church and sing along to the songs, the words have so much meaning behind them.  It is clear to me the reasons why we are on this earth and what God is calling us as Christians to do with our lives.  In the process of seeking God on my own, He has revealed more of His character and also how he wants me to worship Him.

When the music comes on, the lights go dim, and the whole congregation starts singing and worshiping, I can feel the Holy Spirit moving through the room.  Instantly I hear a small voice inside of me saying something to the effect of 'kneel down'.  I think it is a combination of God seeing if I'll obey Him and me just wanting to show my Creator how much I love Him.  Whatever the reason is, I have this feeling that comes over me and I want to drop down on my knees and bow down before my King.

Why do I choose not to occasionally?  Truthfully because sometimes I'm worried about what others may think of me.  Wow, I've never written that out before.  I just realized that is a very silly reason not to drop on my knees whenever I feel led to do so.  I need to be concerned about what God thinks and not what others may think.

When you go to sing praises to God today or whatever time throughout the week, remember that in the end every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.  So my question is...why not start now?
