31 Days of 5 Minute Free Writes 2017 - 01: "Worship"



For the past two years, I've participated in the 31 days of 5 minute free writes on my sister blog.  This year, I feel inspired to base my entries on art I've created and post them here.  Enjoy.




"Music Book."  8x10 acrylic on canvas.

Psalm 149:6 (KJV) - Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand.

Sitting in Bible Study a couple of weeks ago, the video lesson was on connection.  The images were first of a lone musician playing her instrument.  As the segment went on, more musicians were added until a roomful were playing in harmony with each other.

One of the most vulnerable positions is a musician in front of a crowd.  Even more so for a worship musician.  I've been on worship teams in some form for 30 years.  The vulnerability starts with practice.  Will we listen to the leader?  Is the leader worth listening to?  Will we mesh?  Will we "get in the pocket" of the rhythm?  Will we even like each other?  Most importantly, will we actually worship in reckless abandon rather than safely perform?

Only when those variables are in line can the team connect with the congregation to truly worship the Lord.
