Good morning and happy Tuesday. What does your worship look like? True honest worship of our God in heaven. Gonna go to a strange place today with this one; Richard Sherman and Peyton Manning. Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks is catching a lot of heat for his antics on the field after the win Sunday. Manning is again being heralded has the greatest QB of the game. Did you know Peyton was a Christian man. Strong in his faith since he was 13? Yeah me either; at least a strong professing one. I did see him singing the national anthem though, very few do that anymore. I'm not saying a thing about Peyton here. We each have our own ways of expressing ourselves and our faith. Sherman is someone I get the feeling you know right where you stand with him. In a culture that is trying so hard to let people express themselves, we go up in arms when they do. Not saying right or wrong about his tactics that day, but I don't know how I would've felt after just saving the game and helping to get my team to the Super Bowl. So what do see when you see these guys? Who they are or who they want you to see? Which would you rather see? Who they are or who you want them to be? I choose the honest one. The one they are. We had a great study on Psalm 103 Sunday. It's about our worship and our honesty of who we are before God. Him you cannot hide who and what you are. Sometimes it would be good to express our faith just the way Sherman expressed his emotions, and then other times it's good to be a little less vocal, but still seen for what you are. Let God see your worship. Let Him know of your thanksgiving. Let the world see you being a Christian walking the best he can to be like his savior Jesus. Peyton let's his actions speak for him. Sherman speaks out loud for his self. No difference except our loud speaking is for God and His glory, with thanksgiving in our hearts and not asking for anything. Just worshipping God. This is by the way the only Psalm that does not ask for or cry out for anything of The Lord to do for us. It is simply worship of God. What do people see when they see you? I hope it's Jesus. In love always. <><
