Stirs them up? What happens in your heart when you read or hear these words? Are you stirred up?

I hope worship creates great adoration and awe in you-that as you consider all that Jesus has done for you, including the cross, it brings you to tears and to your knees. Don't let your worship become lukewarm, and if it has, go for a walk on the beach, a hike in the woods, or some other activity that gets you alone with God and His creation. As you spend time with Him, you will be refreshed and renewed. Let the Son of God stir you up. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
