I am amazed at how simply uncomplicated worship can be. And yet, it doesn't surprise me, either. Last fall, as I searched for the perfect words to tell Him who He is to me, I stopped after, 'You are.' And I realized, He is. So, You are declares all I need to tell Him. He is my strength, my guide, my savior, my friend. He is my goal, my peace, my planner, my purpose. He is my Lord, my wisdom, my comfort, my healer. So, He is. Therefore, saying 'You are,' seemed to suffice. He is my all in all. So, in that space, during worship, where only He and I exist, those were my words, and then I seemed content to rest in His presence; to listen.
Until Sunday. I asked Him to work His way, His plan. To do what He should do, if indeed I left my life for Him to run without interference. (yeah, I know, like that will happen in THIS human life! But, bear with me.) as I communes with Him, seeking the words to asking Him to have His way in my life, I realized I wanted my God to BE. Be Who 'You are.' because in Your perfect existence you will BE exactly who I need You to BE at any given nano-second. Perhaps that is too simple. To just ask God to BE. But that perfection, coming into my life can only help me to be. Be a better person for Him, and to others. Be listening to His voice. Be understanding of the incidents of my life, and how they fit into His plan.
Yes, to praise my Lord today, I tell Him to 'be.'
"Since You are my everything; be my everything." He can be everything I need in this world, and in my life afterward, if I will let Him.
Worship can be simple, when we see Him for all He is, and is willing to be. Whether we use many words, or just one or two, it is simple communication with Him that His heart desires. He will BE when we approach Him, as He is.
