A Tangible Heaven

"Worship isn't an event to attend it is a lifestyle to be lived."
Picture
I am in a season of rebuilding. If I am being completely honest with myself I am meeting this new season with some reservations. I am not quite sure how to navigate it or even where to begin.  I had become comfortable with the routine that I had developed for myself and begun settling into a life that I thought I wanted, but God is doing something right now that is calling me away from what had become my norm.   I was scared to be back in a place where I didn't feel like I had a handle on my own life.  However, what I am learning is that when life is unsure,  there is a peace I found in the deepest parts of me that whispers, "Everything is going to be alright." even when I can't see how that can be in the natural. Every day I am choosing to trust that peace.

Faith is a powerful thing and so are the words we speak over ourselves and to others. One of the ways that I am maneuvering through this valley is by beginning my day in worship.  Worship removes us out of the equation and puts focus and reverence on Who God is. It extols His many beautiful characteristics and causes us to posture ourselves in humility.  Worship for me has always been my safe place, when the circumstances of life seem to be heavily weighing on my shoulders. The presence of the Lord is the best place that I know and worship is the avenue that I most often take to tangibly reach Heaven.  With different seasons there are different songs that  really minister into my situations.  Right now my playlist consists of a lot of different artists but the common thread in each of the songs touches on the characteristic of the Lord as a restorer of those things that are lost and a mender of the things that are broken. Lately, that overarching message has been such a comfort to me.

Ari's Worship Playlist:
  1. Travis Greene- Worship Rise
  2. Matthew West- Mended
  3. Cory Asbury-Reckless Love

  7. Jonathan McReynolds- Make Room

A tangible heaven is not something that I can imagine. I mean, the entire idea of heaven is that it has nothing else, but clouds. Paradise is what awaits in heaven, or at least, that is the idea. I am not interested in a place that is nothing like that. When I die, I just want to go to the next thing. I do not want to wonder if there really is a heaven or not, it is not my place to think about it.
