Worship Wednesdays #18 - REMEMBER THE DAY

Worship Wednesdays #18 - REMEMBER THE DAY
This is the eighteenth post in a series called "Worship Wednesdays".  In this series I will focus on one word, thought or lesson and I will feature a modern Christian song that relates to the focus of the day.

WARRIOR

Today is the 18th anniversary of the Nine/Eleven attacks - we can never forget.....lest history will repeat itself.  
We all remember exactly where we were and exactly what we were doing on that day.  I was at work and left to go home after the second tower was hit.  Instead of talking about what happened during my day 18 years ago, I want to talk about the 
Passion Flower (see picture above).  I had been nursing this plant indoors for about 5 or 6 years (since this is a tropical plant, it would have died outside in the Michigan climate).  This plant had never had a single blossom until the day of 9/11/2001.  Passion flower blossoms only bloom for one day and this was the day - nine/eleven.  I took this to have symbolic meaning - 
I need to continue to:
- have passion for my FAITH in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- have passion in taking care of my FAMILY
- have passion for my dear FRIENDS
- have passion for FREEDOM and this country
- have passion for the FUTURE and to live everyday to the fullest

About a year later this passion flower plant died - I only ever got this one blossom out of that tropical plant.  
(PASSION - strong and barely controllable emotion)

Please don't ever forget - REMEMBER THE DAY

Let's begin by defining WORSHIP - the feeling or expression of adoration for a deity.  Adoration, love, devotion, adulation, glorify, exalt, praise.

There are many ways to worship God but in this series it will be through music.

“Seven times a day I praise you.” 

Psalm 119:164
