Look to the Lord and his strength, see his face always. The author states that he is empty while leading services because he was not full with God. He was empty and he was just lying to himself and all the people he was leading in worship. He quickly learned that he needed to be close and more intimate with God and he needed to reassess his values and that our values will change a lot as we grow older. He said God found him and saved him and brought him back into the world of worship and he was whole and full with God.
I feel like God is something that we can sometimes actually overlook while leading. People become so concerned with themselves and what they need that they forget that God is the main picture. We are hear to worship him and praise him. I appreciate how honest he is and how he was falling away. Because I'm sure everyone can relate to that. We all have our moments by the have to learn how to pull ourselves out of that attitude.
I agree. Isn't it weird that we can actually forget about God while leading worship? I'm glad we're aware of this so that we can remember to actively seek his face always. A relationship with him takes time and dedication and quality time spent with him.
ReplyDeleteI agree that God can be overlooked, in worship, and in daily life. I need to focus more on not overlooking God.
ReplyDeleteI definitley agree with you that sometimes we can overlook God because we are so concerned with our self image. This is especially challenging when playing in front of so many people. In the end though we always have to remember the reason we are up there playing in the first place.
