Red Rocks Worship

The past couple of days weΓÇÖve talked about the power of GodΓÇÖs presenceΓÇöthat itΓÇÖs the destination for healing, for life change, and for Heaven to meet earth. There are those moments in songs where you feel the transcendence of God become immanent, and you realize just how personal and profound our faith is. What I love about ΓÇ£Right Here, Right NowΓÇ¥ is that the focus isnΓÇÖt just personal, itΓÇÖs communal. Notice the collective language throughout the song: our attention, our affection, we wonΓÇÖt hesitate, we seek You, our worship pouring out.

Have you ever had a moment when you really just didnΓÇÖt know what to do? Maybe you felt like the circumstances of life were completely out of your hands. You worked really hard, thought you did all of the right things, but still felt like you were spinning your wheels? If so, you are not alone! IΓÇÖve been there many times myself! Often, we feel that we have to work extra hard to make all good things happen for ourselves. We act as though the weight of the world is on our shoulders, and if we donΓÇÖt work hard enough, compete with our peers, pray enough, etc, then, we wonΓÇÖt have and be all that we are meant to be. That lifestyle is exhausting and unfulfilling!

Jesus came to this earth so that we could experience the Presence of God in its fullness. Before Him, only the high priests were allowed to enter the holy place. Relationship with humanity is why Jesus endured the cross. And yet, we often deem ourselves too broken or too messy to run close to God. We are determined to wait until we ΓÇ£get ourselves togetherΓÇ¥ in order to seek after Him, but even when we feel at our worst, we are enough to Jesus.
