What do you do when that last note is struck? When the sounds of your musical worship reverberate their final sound?
Is that the end of your worship?
Worship is not music. Music is worship, but worship is so much more. And I feel like that is something we know in the back of our minds. But our hearts remain ignorant to the fact many times.
This isn't a post to tell you that you are bad at worship, or that worship is more than music, because like I said- most of us know that already. It would be redundant to say, as is this sentence (just for effect).
But this post is about reaction to the matter, not the matter itself.
Let's say you just finished a great worship service at your church- you walk outside. Part of worship is just enjoying God's creation. But the hope- my hope as a worship leader- is that the worship you experience inside the doors our your worship center carry out into the world.
So you walk outside, after singing a song like "We Unite", by Elevation Worship (if you don't know the song- click the link). You just sang a prayer of unity among believers. So live it. Take what you experienced in worship and let is leak out of your core.
Say you sang, "Never Once" by Matt Redman. You walk through the streets knowing that you aren't alone. Knowing in your heart. What I mean is this: live with boldness in Christ. Troubles will come your way, but through faith know that God is here for you. So as you live your day to day life- let that pour out. Continue to worship God for that.
When the music fades- what do you do? Do you let it remain what it was? Or do you take that experience, grow it, nurture it, and live a life driven to the worship of our God.
