A New Song!

I definitely have not done this in awhile, but I want to try and start back more often because it requires me to look into the Bible and think about it and break it down into something that means something on another level.
I've said it before, God definitely has a way of reaching you, and hammering things into your spirit until you just can't get past it. I've realized recently that my relationship with God isn't where it needs to be right now. I've let myself get slack and put other things before Him and He sat waiting for a little while, but finally I just needed that brick dropped on my head. I've been feeling led to do more things for God than before. I truly feel like I'm growing spiritually.
I realized that you have to want a relationship with Jesus because you need it, and you see that you can't live without Him. The biggest thing, I think, for that relationship is just the time spent with Him aspect. You can't hold a friendship or a relationship without sharing your heart and talking and spending time together, it's just not possible, then you just become acquaintances.
Another huge thing is worship! I've come to realize this through watching someone with the purest worship and the deepest praise and an intimate relationship with God. It's our repayment to Him for dying on the cross for us! Simply, to praise Him because He is who He is. Not only because He died on the cross, and because he loves us unconditionally, but also because He is the God of the universe!--the creator, not only, of everything that we sense with our five senses, and everything we feel in our hearts, but everything beyond what we can see and what we know. That is worthy of praise and worship. It makes Him worthy enough for us to be bold enough to lift our hands and say here I am, Lord, take me as an offering. It makes Him worthy enough for us to worship Him with our lives, and living in a constant state of prayer.
God called David a man after His own heart. He had an intimate, deep, passionate, worship for God and relationship with God. I mean, take a look at Psalms and how many verses begin, end, and all throughout it talk about praising Him and how everything that has...and doesn't have breath...praises their God. How much more should we praise Him? I definitely don't want the rocks to cry out in my place if I don't worship Him! Go look these up. They are some good ones!
1 Chron 16:9
1 Chron 16:25
1 Chron 29:13
Ps 2:11
Ps 9:2
Ps 18:3
Ps 30:11-12
Ps 34:1
Luke 19:40

I'm continuing to pray for a new song in my heart to sing to Him and a fiery passion for Him and the need to get to know Him more. These are two of the songs that have been on my heart lately. The first one is definitely more contemporary. The second one is definitely not most people's style, it's southern gospel, but the words are true and the girl's voice is beautiful!
