Worship Recap 03.11.12... "Never Be Shaken"

We lost an hour and gained a lifetime of love this morning. Using the Jacob and Esau story we were reminded of the verse in Romans 8... nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus or Lord. That's a strengthening thought in today's broken world.

Worship Leader Moment: Never Be Shaken
What does rehearsal tell us? In our case it revealed that we were not in harmony this morning. There was certainly a faction of discord that was prominent during our time of preparing. The comfort level that I'm accustomed to before worship was not to be found.

I struggle with this because I always want our best to be offered to God in worship. And though we had a member or two missing, my bar was still set high. It's only our best that we want to offer up.

So what did I do? I went to a small quiet area and prayed... I gave everything up to God. All the disappointment, all the frustration, everything that was cluttering up my mind... and I went to lead worship. And it was beautiful... and it was spiritual... and I believe it was pleasing to God.

I love that on days like these someone will always come up and tell me how blessed they were by a song or the service itself.God has a way of comforting us with just what we need. It's not the want to please the congregation, but the want to lead them to a place of worship, and to ultimately please God.
