Its all about me mememem MEEE

Seriously.. What in the world is wrong with worship today. Don't get me wrong I don't mind occasionally singing a song that is.. well about me?

Most of writers today have a tendency to write worship songs that are centered around us rather than Him. Yes I believe that it has its place but I am a firm believer of songs that are directly pointed at Him rather than me. I need my focus to be off of me for at least ONE day during the week. Please don't get me wrong.. There are some great "me" songs out there:

Open the eyes of MY heart Lord (emphasis on MY mine.. lol)
Lead ME to the cross
Draw ME close to You

I could go on but I think you have an idea where I am heading. Psalmist and Christian focused writers of today need to begin changing their focus and place it on the One that deserves it most. I am pretty sure I will be slammed by some on this and personally that's ok. We need to think about this.. We need to begin to write MORE songs where God is the absolute focus, giving praise solely to Him

This is a call out to all Lead worshippers out there.. Lets begin a revolution in worship by penning songs focused on Him. May God richly bless you and your family.

Just Worship in general...

Worship is something I am drawn to.. Whether it is a ride on my motorcycle or in my car on a cool summer night with all my windows down its worship to me. It never ceases to amaze me the wonders of our God. The colors of the sky as the sun dips beneath the horizon on a clear day is simply breath taking. Nature in general is awe inspiring. The laughter of my children as they play.. I could go on but in reality the list is endless which leads me to my point for the evening..

We need to understand that as Christians everything that we do is an act of worship. The very breath that we take in and expel out is an act of Worship to He that created us. What we do with the Gifts He has gifted us with and what we do with them.. If we use them for His glory it is an act of Worship.

Every day we do acts of Worship. What are you doing? Are you using the Gifts He has given you for glorify Him? Take a moment each day and think about it.
