I flew beside the Sierra Nevada mountain range along California's eastern edge. Though it's summer, the mountains are covered with snow.
When we intentionally go to the deepest places of our soul, we will find something more in the day, we will see he presence and power of God with eyes of faith. When we see God, we understand there's nothing and no one in comparison. All we want to do is worship Him. Worship renews and strengthens who we are, enabling us to see the power of the Giver of Life. Our day-to-day living changes when we've stopped and worshipped.
Consider:
Worship.

The beauty of the mountains can be described by the passengers collective, "Ah!" It was a moment of worship.There's times we walk through the day missing the awesome creative work of God. But. We're created to notice the work of God, the signature of His presence, and to be in awe of what's before us, a pink and blue sunrise and an orange-red sunset, a cool summer breeze and gale force winds, spring rain and winter snow, a waterfall in a rock's cleft and the rushing waters of a river, all of creation. When we stop and notice, we're refreshed, even if it's only for a moment in time.
The thing is . . . we are changed when we realize the Creator of this universe is not only at work in this big world but in the smallest details of our life . . . because that is who He is.There's a place in each day, regardless of how busy and challenging it all is, that we need to breathe, to settle down, to release the stuff, to notice God's work, to become still, to be aware of His presence, and to worship. This means we need to intentionally connect with God, surrendering all to Him, trusting He is at work, bringing all things together for good in His creative, majestic, mysterious way.

Consider:
The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world. (Psalm 19:1-4, NLT).
Worship.
- Stop.
- Breathe.
- Settle down.
- Release the stuff.
- Notice the work of God.
- Become still.
- Be aware of His presence.
- Worship Him.
