Are you insulting God in worship?

The article says how God is self suffient and does not need us. He is the one who is responsible for our existence. We do not need to serve God because he is poor or weak. Instead, we should be there for God to humbly ask him to give us life and to refresh us. We should worship God to receive breath from Him.

This article reminds me that we are dependent on God, and God is not dependent on us. We depend on God to give us breath. When we think that God needs us to worship him, we insult him because he does not need us. God is all powerful and does not lack anything. We need God, and God does not need us.

Get off the platform

The article is telling us that we should not put all our concentration and focus on expanding our leadership platform. Instead, we should trust in God to create our platforms for us to worship Him. We should take our focus off the hidden motives of our heart and be free of them. Instead of trying to build and expand platforms, we should focus on gaining authority. Our role as worship leaders is to be a servant to those we are leading in worship.

This article was meaningful to me because it reminded me that leadership is the greatest form of servanthood. I should also explore the spiritual art of hiddenness so I can focus on worshipping our God. It also reminded me to go into chapels with the mindset of leading worship to lead our student body to God. Worship is a great way to grow closer to Him. We should be more selfless and put all our focus on God.
