#ThinkOnThis⠀ Message Excerpt By Paul David Tripp⠀ “Worship is one of the unescapable spiritual realities of everyday life, we are always in active worship of one or two things. Either we are giving our lives to the worship of the creation or giving our lives to the worship of the Creator. Our hearts are a war zone, a war zone of worship. It is humbling to think about what controls our hearts, or the things that control us, where we get angry, where we get afraid, what it is we crave. Do you know in this fallen world, it is only when God is in His rightful place that everything else gets in its right place as well? We often make the mistake to think that our problems are basically horizontal problems, having to do with people and circumstances, and if we can strategize to alter our relationship with people and solve our problem with situations, we will be okay. We think that the origin of difficulty is in the situation or in the relationship. The fact is, the origin of most of our difficulty is actually vertical, a problem between us and God that results in a problem between us and others. When God is not in His right place, then everything else gets out of its assigned place. How can we win this war of worship? How can we make sure that God is the unchallenged object of the deepest love and craving of our heart?” 2 Corinthians 5:15⠀ ⠀ #fortopsail #jesusforus #vitalverticalrelationship #whollyholyaligned #hearttoheart #godfirst #deeplove #deeplyrooted https://www.instagram.com/p/CDxWgmFgABh/?igshid=hgc2ma6hblgb
