Worship Him Freely with Self-Control

"He is worthy of all honor and glory, He is worthy of all our praise..." And so on we sang in the church or with the band or with friends. We forgot all about what is going on in our mind and in the world! We stood together to praise Him. Everything is so good so far! Then the song ends, we sat down or walk away thinking, is there more to this than that?

Here is the challenge: create a new song or cultivate a new way of expressing the song in our own unique way. One thing I love about signing language is that I have the privellege to use different signs to illustrate the lyrics in an unique way. Sometimes I led the songs too often that I needed to back out to be able to learn some new ways to express the songs through other signers. Or listen to the preacher's elaboration about the certain word or line within the song.

Why is it important for us to create new songs or express them in our own unique way?
Think about it, when we create something that had to be made from our own hands, body, or voice, then they are as rare as diamonds to Him!

How may we worship Him freely without being the barrier to the ones around us?
That is when the fruit of our self-control comes into the picture. We have the freedom to lift our hands and to possess the self-control to not spread our hands into the front of one's face. We have the freedom to be drugged by the Spirit and to possess the self-control to sit down before falling upon someone around us. We have the freedom to lay prostrate even throughout the sermon or the closing talk and yet possess the self-control to get up quietly and be seated or sit at the very spot. If we possess that self-control, then why are we afraid to step out and try something new?

Let us step out with our self-control and worship Him in our own unique way to experience His love in it's fullest form!
