It’s no time school can start, but there will be certain delays due to the swine flu condition in Puerto Rico. However, I’m still here, writing my musings into Scripture to the “evermore” generation.
I have always been fascinated by the heart of worship. Just lifting your hands and your soul, soaking in the presence of God, meditating, whispering, in silence, even moving oneself to the pace of music, believing with faith that our worship will be received by God. What a beautiful experience of connection to the master!
As you know, I love Hillsong, Parachute, Planetshakers (and everything that comes from the South Pacific!) and others, but what knocks me is who comes not to a concert, but to worship. Not to get their voices recorded on CD in July and August, not to get their faces imprinted on DVD, not to get them on YouTube (they can post, that’s their problem), but just… as a church to worship. With all they have. With the clothes on their backs and their spirits on hand, God receives them with a heart of humility.
Yes, the spirit of idolatry can come not there, but everywhere, I know. But that’s not the focus. God only wants us to worship Him to the evermore. Forever, and always, to the future. And as the evermore generation, we have to use all we got to bring the world to the Master’s knees. It’s our time to tear down the walls of worship and change what we know.
Let us worship to the evermore, because or voices won’t be recorded on CD’s, but on Jesus’ heart… to the future, forever.

Here is the chorus of Planetshakers’ “Evermore”, which prompted me to write this devotional.
You are my God my life my all
And I live for You alone
I am Yours evermore
Heaven and earth will shout Your praise
Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
(Psalm 89:52, KVJ, emphasis mine.)

The wonder of Your name
I'll proclaim evermore
