some sappy, hopeless, gagging romance that Justin
is going to write about?" Nope. That's not what
this post is about.
Whose voice then melts my heart? God? Yes, that is
the number one voice that pierces my heart, melts
my heart, comforts my heart, and many more actions
that is dealt to my heart.
The second? Right now, it'll have to be those who sing
and not care how they sound. Those who sing to God
with their off-pitch voices really loudly. It brings chills
down my spine when I hear these people sing MORE
than the voices that sound really, really good.
Why? Isn't it painful to hear them sing? Nope. I love
their voice. It brings my heart to humbleness that I
sometimes sing in order to impress rather than to
praise God. The fact that those people who sing aloud
because they love God, and not care about how they
sound is something I must remind myself during praise.
Bob Kauflin, in his book Worship Matters, addresses the
issue of the heart and how we are so prone to serving
ourselves and trying to get the approval of people rather
than the God we serve. In my case, I try to impress
people and receive those comments of "Good job with
praise" or "Thank you for playing and leading us into
worship". That pride needs to be destroyed constantly
and quickly.
God is not impress with voices that make you sound like
Chris Tomlin or Jadon Lavik. He loves to hear you praise
his name with all your heart, fully devoted to give God
the glory and praise He deserves.
Thankful for:
People who cannot sing, yet sing because they love God; the senior guys of
CCM and Matt Wong; Pastor Aaron and DWYS morning readings; nap times
