Worship. You beauty.
I have attended a number of churches during various seasons of my life. I have listened and sang along to many worship songs; be it in service or those played through sound or visual media devices.
There is a beauty in worship. For a solo artist, I see the beauty in their story telling or testimony share through song. Also in this scenario, the beauty can be in the backing vocalists.
For a worship team, it's in the harmonies. Where a couple of worshippers serve the Lord in the midst of a congregation. The manner in which each member adds their fearfully and wonderfully made self, in harmony to the others. Simply beautiful.
Each time it makes me stand in awe of God and the workings of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of truth who enabled us in such diverse ways, yet for a common purpose - The glory of God the Father.
The role of song is important in our Christian lives. Many times, worship has moved me into a prayerful state that made me feel that much closer to the Almighty God. A number of times, I have articulated certain payers to the Lord of lords, in song.
Dearest Lord, worship is for You. Simply because You are the Creator. My Father. The most High God. Being Your child and servant is a blessing to me. An honour and a joy.
In worship; much is revealed about You, about ourselves and about our circumstances and environments. All through the workings of Your Spirit within us.
I stand in awe of You.
May I keep remembering that You are far bigger and higher.
Nothing is impossible for You.
Your thoughts are higher.
Make manifest Your perfect plan in worship and through worship. That we may experience Your beauty, goodness and glory.
All to serve You with gladness. To worship You in spirit and in truth.
In the name of Jesus Christ.
There is beauty in worship.
Amen
