Praise

I cant stop thinking about how great God is. Like really, I am just amazed by everything hes doing and Im feeling. Im feeling like things are slowly taking place and things are working out. Im feeling like hes telling me to just wait, build that ARK and to give him my all. And thats how I felt today at practice. I felt that I didnt deserve to sing praise to him, that I shouldnt have been able to sing and play, that I should have been on my knees the whole time, bowing down. But as I stood there in practice playing away I felt him with me, and I felt that I have to try to get people into it, that I have to be energetic and "work" the crowd, that if Im up there jumping around or having a smile on my face that they will see that I really love what I am doing and I am PRAISING my Lord and that its a HAPPY THING. Worship DOES NOT have to be boring and slow. Yes, it should be intimate at times but it also should be joyful.

Psalm 150

1 Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,

4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,

5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD.

Psalms 43:18-19

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
