The Important Things
As we start a new book called 'Worship Matters' by Bob Kaulfin, we by talking about 'The Important Things.' When you lead worship, you are pulled in a hundred different directions at once, so it is important that we remember what we are doing and why we are doing it. One of the things that losing focus can cause is burnout. Many worship leaders struggle with having to "get up and do it again" for the two-hundredth time. We have to resist just going through the motions and "mailing it in." "Don't get me wrong. I think leading God's people in worship is one of the most fulfilling, enjoyable, exciting, sobering, life-changing jobs on the planet. We're helping people connect with the purpose for which they were created-to glorify the living God. We're pointing their hearts toward the Sovereign One who is greater than their trials and kinder than they could ever imagine. We get to display the matchless Savior who died in our place, conquering sin, death, and hell in the process."
We are here for one reason, to worship God. Otherwise what we are doing here is pointless. But "worship matters. It matters to God because He is the one ultimately worthy of worship. It matters to us because worshiping God is the reason for which we were created. And it matters to every worship leader, because we have no greater privilege than leading others to encounter the greatness of God. That's why it's so important to think carefully about what we do and why we're doing it."
I know that I am not adequate for this task, and if you don't feel adequate for the task...you're in the perfect place for God to use you.
Enjoy the Journey
