“All That Matters”
Revelation 4:8 NIV
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, ’who was, and is, and is to come.”

In church this past Sunday morning, we sang one of my favorite worship songs, “Holy Forever”. As we were singing, I felt a strong reminder by God saying, “Zach, all that matters in life is that you worship Me and focus on Who I Am.” As we continued to sing the song, I felt chills from the reminder that God is absolutely beyond amazing.

The past couple of months I’ve been struggling with so many things on my mind and not completely focusing on positive things. I’ve shared that in the past months, I struggled with some depression and how worship music brought me out of that. Well, the struggle is off and on and I realize that I have to really be intentional big time all the time to make sure I am focusing on God. No matter what is going on in my life, nothing changes how amazing and awesome God is.

While singing this song on Sunday, I was reminded that all that ever matters in life is how amazing and wonderful God is. Nothing in my life compares to that! Does that mean that my struggles and things that are very concerning are not important? No, absolutely not! God certainly cares about all of the things going on. However, when I get so focused on certain things going on in my life and NOT on God, that’s my problem! God has reminded me of that. I need to let go and trust Him 100%. I haven’t been doing that.

All that matters in life is that we focus and worship God. That is where our total focus needs to be, no matter what is going on. Today I am reminded that nothing in all of life is more important than God and me worshipping Him daily. Everything else falls under that, period. Nothing that I am doing means anything if I am not fully focused on serving Him. I need to be locked in and focused every day.

These words from the song captured my attention today:
Your Name is the highest
Your Name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your Name stands above them all

This is ALL that matters, period. There is so much power behind these words and what they mean. God is above and beyond everything we experience and all we struggle through in life.

If we completely focus on Him, then the rest of life will not overcome us. God is always with us.
