Freedom and Favor

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.

David LIVED out of worship! He did so many powerful, life changing, going down in history things for God. He let his flesh make some pretty horrible decisions, but he didn't let them keep him down. David was a man of God!

I have lived my life seeking God for 8 years and 10 months. There are some things that most people probably get the first month of living a life with Jesus that for some reason have taken me 8 years and 10 months, but I praise God for showing them to me.

The past few weeks I believe that God has called me to worship Him more. I have answered that call and been starting, and filling, every single day praisng Him. The very first thing I have been doing when I wake up is praising God; sometimes it's a song, sometimes a prayer, sometimes it's a deep breath of fresh 6 a.m. air, but it's all praising our really good God! The past few weeks I believe that God has changed my life.

God is filling me with His Spirit. The Holy Spirit is filling me with peace. The peace of Jesus is filling my life with such clarity. In this clarity God has shown me how to daily live my life, as a chef, as a husband, as a dad, as a friend, as a pastor, as Jesus would if He were living my life for me every moment...because He is!

There will be days God will use me to heal people. There will be days I will speak the truth of scripture into peoples lives. There will be days I will be able to pray with people who don't know Jesus...BUT EVERYDAY, filled with God's Holy Spirit, I can use my words to encourage and breathe life into people! How have I sucked at this for so many years? Yes, there have been many times at work where I have been encouraging and uplifting to my employees and employers, but NOT those super stressful "restaurant" days, BUT GOD wants to use me in powerful ways especially in these crazy times.

God has brought me to a new place of Freedom and Favor at work. I have this freedom to be a positive, encouraging voice in peoples lives everyday. I have this favor with people that God is using to bring Himself GLORY! I am so excited to live the rest of my life as a worshiper!
