“Jesus, knowing that the Father had
given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to
God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded
Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the
disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.” (John 13:3-5 NKJV)
We must learn to worship as an everyday
lifestyle. Even if we took part in wonderful, powerful worship once a week… it
wouldn’t be enough. The Spirit of God accompanies us everywhere we go, and we
can worship Him in the very midst of daily life…
It’s
a question of whether you have eternal perspective. Wherever you go, whatever
you do, the Lord Jesus longs to be your constant companion. You have the
opportunity to praise and worship Him all through the day. He once washed the
dirty feet of His disciples, so the details of your [dirt] make no difference.
If you will only practice His presence,
you will find an eternal perspective taking root in your soul. You will begin
to see this world through heavenly eyes. The trials will seem [less
burdensome], and the blessings will be more obvious to you. You’ll see every
person as Christ sees him or her, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself
washing a foot or two, in time.
Wherever you go will be a fine place to
be. And whatever you do will be filled with an irrepressible joy, because you’re
in the company of the King.
-- David Jeremiah, as quoted in “His Passion: Christ’s Journey
to the Resurrection”
