More on Worship

It is hugely encouraging to hear that people enjoyed worship last Tuesday and that it was able to help them worship our great God... I can tell you, as part of the worship team (the player of the celebrated sax-um-mu-phone... yay Selmer!!! <--- that's his name) it was definitely a learning experience for me.

It was interesting to play with people I've never played with (much less, even met) before, and to be playing in a different key than everyone else, and having no idea what E minor chords translate into for Bflat instruments (all you band geeks out there know what I'm talking about...), but nonetheless it really worked out well. I was definitely challenged with my musical technical ability, as well as spiritually.

It made me realize all the more that it is the heart behind our worship that really matters... even if we are out of key and out of tune and out of time, if our hearts are focussed on God and we are there to show that we love Him and want to celebrate Him, He is pleased. And I say, Amen to that!!!!

ps. Interesting coincidence that this week's study was about gifts and talents and how we should use them for God's glory... I must (from experience now) that the most satisfying use of those talents is when they are given up to Him. Try it out sometime; you'll see what I mean
