Just Jesus | Worship Set | 7.11.24

Hi fam ◡̈ Long time so see~ I feel like this season I have been pretty MIA as I feel like God is pulling me back into a place of hiddenness and working on me. I just wanted to preface with this so that I can share that I may be pretty slow in uploading things as I sit with Jesus :'''') ty all for walking with me in this journey of knowing Christ more and drawing near to Him. God has recently been stretching me in the mundane. Honestly, I've only known busy-ness, living a chaotic life with highs and lows but tbh, I hate boring.... LOL I hate feeling like I'm not doing anything and feeling like I'm wasting my life. It is weirdly uncomfortable to just live a "normal, mundane" life???? But in the silence, the mundane, the day to day, God has been pruning in me the heart to want only Jesus. Not the things I can do, not being special, not being wanted, not my dreams (even if they're from a desire to do great things for the kingdom), nothing else, but just Jesus. He's been revealing to me my pride, the way that I almost slipped but how His grace and mercy has brought me back to His feet. In the mundane, there has honestly been so much comparison. So many deeply rooted fears. So many insecurities in recognizing my true nothingness. That my life is really like grass and that my weak heart would unknowingly fall in love with other things more than Jesus sometimes. But, I'm so grateful. That God would be so kind to me, to redirect my steps back to the feet of Jesus, in His presence. That He loves me so much, enough to discipline me. And He's still working on me, it'll probably take a while in this process of undoing me, but I'm so thankful that God would be gracious enough to purify my heart. To purify my worship. Pslam 73: 1 Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. 3 For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 For they have no pangs until death; their bodies are fat and sleek. 5 They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. 6 Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment. 7 Their eyes swell out through fatness; their hearts overflow with follies. 8 They scoff and speak with malice; loftily they threaten oppression. 9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue struts through the earth. 10 Therefore his people turn back to them, and find no fault in them.[a] 11 And they say, “How can God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?” 12 Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches. 13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence. 14 For all the day long I have been stricken and rebuked every morning. 15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,” I would have betrayed the generation of your children. 16 But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, 17 until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end. -- 23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. 28 But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works. In the mundane, even if I am nothing and no one in the eyes of the world. I want Jesus most. I want to seek His presence in everyday and in every little thing, that my intimacy with Him would be the sweetest place for me. I am all yours, Jesus. Have your way in me.
