Leave the Luggage At the Door

We all have troubles and problems that can bog us down, distract us and if we aren’t careful they can consume us. We go to church and are so overwhelmed at times that even when we are in His presence we miss the opportunity to worship Him and bask in His presence because we are focused on our problems instead of our God.

If we come into the place that our Savior abides with that “luggage,” our hands are full and heavy.  We cannot lift our hands to the One who deserves our praise if our hands are full. Leave all the luggage at the door.  It doesn’t matter what we are enduring when we come into His presence. He fills us with His strength and peace that passes all understanding.  “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ.”(Philippians 4:7)

He deserves our undivided attention. We cannot just going through the motions of worship. Our focus has to be on Him, not on our distractions. Sure the luggage will still be there ready and waiting for you when you leave but after being in His presence the luggage isn’t quite as heavy as it was before your time with God.  

Leave the luggage at the door.  Don’t ever miss your opportunity to worship Him, He is seeking those who seek Him. “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” (John 4:23)
