Despite hating things in masks, I love Cirque de Soliel shows. I love the acrobatics, the musical score, the animation and effects--and I especially enjoy walking into the dimly lit theater as I observe the set and the character that "warms up" the crowd before the show actually begins. These elements set the stage for the anticipation of the actual show!
Similarly, when we worship God, we get to experience His power, His sovereignty, His provision, His holiness and so much more as we enter into the presence of the Holy Spirit with shouts of praise and thanksgiving.
But this is not always easy, and there are times and seasons in life where we might be struggling to praise God and offer shouts of thanksgiving. Since we know music can evoke powerful emotions in our souls, sometimes we want to "turn off" the emotion that draws us closer to God and stay in to the cave of confusion or den of despair.
But during a Holy Spirit moment, I was convicted that if I chose to "fight like hell" to overcome this season by wondering, worrying, and wallowing, I was only playing into the enemy's schemes. As the accuser, satan wants me to stay stuck and "lay by the pool" for years and years--but thankfully Jesus appears on the scene and asks the invalid--"Do you want to get well?" It's a choice! It's a decision. We can fight like heaven and stop making excuses and take action or we can continue to lay by the side of the pool.
Which will you choose?
