Do you ever feel like you have so many things going on that it’s hard to keep it all straight? Maybe you have so many thoughts, ideas, and concerns swirling around in your head that it’s hard to remember the simple, basic things like where you put your car keys. I know I get that way sometimes. In those times where I feel like my mind is so cluttered, and my day is so busy, I sometimes feel like there should be a reset button that I hit and it wipes out all the mess and I can just rebuild my train of thought starting with the basics. 

There’s a praise song that says, “I’m coming back to the heart of worship. It’s all about You. I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it when it’s all about you, Jesus.” I’ve found throughout my life that when I seem to have so much going on and I easily lose focus, I must return to this prayer over and over again. It’s kind of like hitting the reset button and clearing away the nonsense. 

Our lives our meant to be lived out in worship, meaning that we reflect and glorify God even in the every day stuff. But we carry so much baggage with us— exhaustion, guilt, fear, complacency, and many other things. If we take a moment to intentionally hit the reset button, and focus only on Jesus, all that other stuff clears away and we understand why we worship in the first place. It’s all about Jesus. In fact, all of life is. We live with so many things on our agendas and calendars that we often forget the simple truth that we were created to bring God glory. The very reason for our existence is to walk in, grow in, and reflect God’s love, made available to us through Jesus Christ. That is the basic truth we should strive to live into, and it is the very heart of worship. Are you living your life with a heart of worship? Is it all about Jesus? Please join me in confessing, “I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it,” and let us live our lives in a way that glorifies God more authentically.
