Our Many Hats

My mouth is full of praise

and honor to You all day long.

Psalm 71:8 CSB

Wife.

Daughter.
Sister.
Friend.
Ministry leader.
Homemaker.
Neighbor.
Blogger.

These are some of the hats I wear on an almost daily basis. Pause for a moment and think of your hats. Would you add career woman? Maybe coach? How about runner? Perhaps teacher? You and I wear many different hats every day. All throughout the day we switch our hats on and off, sometimes wearing multiple hats at a time.

Today my hats consist of homemaker and blogger as I take care of my home and do some work on the computer for my own blog and here at Woman to Woman. Then this afternoon I will switch over to my mom hat as I help my daughter who is hoping to drive today for the first time since her hip surgery. Then a little later this afternoon I'll slip on my wife hat when my husband gets home from work, and this evening add my Grammie hat as we go visit one of our grandbabies. Other hats may need to be worn throughout the day as well.

While we all have a plethora of hats we wear throughout the day, there is one hat we have that should stay on all day long, every single day. That is the hat of worshipper. We are called to be worshippers of God and this is one hat that we should never take off.

How can we leave on the worshipper hat while still giving time and attention to our other hats? Incorporate your worship hat in all that you do. As you take care of your home, sing praise songs, listen to an audio Bible, or pray over your family. As you wear your wife hat, be kind and loving to your husband, serve him joyfully, honor him with respect, and pray over him. When wearing your career woman hat, be sure to show the love of Christ, be kind, be a Godly example, and look for opportunities to be a witness.

The worshipper hat is one that should always stay on and should continually seep into each area of our life. Let's strive to be women who live a life of worship all days and in all things.

Discussion:
1. Think again of all the hats you wear regularly. Are there any hats you need to take off and lay aside for a season? Or maybe a hat you should be wearing more often?
2. Do you struggle with keeping your worshipper hat on? Think of ways to incorporate your worshipper hat in different areas of your life.
