Worship: instantaneously

The nature of worship is an individual phenomena. It has the freedom to happen at any time, planned or unplanned. It's not motivated by where we are, what we are doing, how we are feeling, but by the constant desire to express Love to our Father and Creator in heaven. Most of the time it is preceded by a sense of gratitude, and thanksgiving, without these two seeds of expression it cannot grow into the humbling experience that it is meant to be.
Man before his Creator lifting hands and hearts with the anticipation that "He will meet with us because He Loves us."
Faith opens this doorway to receive "the things hoped for and the evidence not seen." Ask and receive, seek and find, knock and the door will be opened to you! These actions are the creed of those who "desire to worship our Father in heaven." When this is the "constant" within the heart "times of refreshing" will certainly follow.
Spontaneous is the word that correctly describes the ascension into this hallowed ground. But only if you "want to be there."
My experience tonight with instantaneous worship came at the most unexpected time: Watching the "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Concert on PBS. Wow..........Say what? Yup. Right in the middle of Jerry Jeff Walker's Mr. Bojangles set. What a time to be called out by the Holy Spirit and reminded by Him about all the times He intervened in my life, humbling my heart and bringing praise to the name of Jesus. It left me with tears in my eyes to think that He had my attention so tenderly that He could just drop in on me without cause or notice and share a moment with one of His sons. Unexpected fellowship with my Father..........
You don't need a church service to worship, (even though it's a great place to meet for it), you don't need a great worship song going to enter into His presence, all you need is a heart that knows that your Father Loves you and desires to "commune" with you anytime anywhere.
Are you ready?
Wait for it..........................
