In this post I want to encourage anyone who leads worship in any way, to maintain your focus and realize the significance of our ministry. Whether you sing, play an instrument, dance, or do all of the above, we must all realize the value of what we do in the body of Christ, not because we're great, but because He is great. Each time we gather for corporate worship, we literally help people prepare the way of the Lord and bring them into a deeper communion with Him. At the end of the day, the responsibility of true worship is on the individual, but we help establish that atmosphere through the posture of our hearts and the way that we lead those around us to do the same. Never take it lightly and realize the privilege that we have. There is truly great value in sitting at His feet (Luke 10:38-42).I'd like to share with you the words of a powerful song from years ago written by Lenny Leblanc that says it all:
No Higher Calling
Down at Your feet Oh Lord
Is the most high place
In Your presence Lord
We (I) seek Your face
We (I) seek Your face
There is no higher calling
No greater honor
Than to bow and kneel before Your throne
I'm amazed at Your glory
Embraced by Your mercy
O Lord, I live to worship You
Remember the high call that it is to worship Him and lead others to do likewise. Real communion and fellowship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords can never be replaced by anything else. Truly, in the life of all believers, when it comes to worshipping our Father, there is no higher calling.
