It's been overstated that the purpose of our lives is to "worship God". Being a worship leader I believe that my job is to create the best opportunity for people to enter into worship. I think most of our life can be reduced to creating or taking opportunities...

I'm a needy man!

I love getting new CD's. Things have been different this way since the creation of I-tunes where I can download a whole album of songs more inexpensively than buying the CD jacket. However, next to the music, I enjoy the CD jacket. I love to go to the back of the lyric sheet, past all the words laid out perfectly in form, to what's usually the last page. It's where the recognition section is. The "thanks to..." section. You know what I'm talking about. I love to read those because you get such a great idea of who the artist is from seeing who they recognize as an influence to their album and/or lives.

I'm all about accolades. I think it's great to be recognized. I love to aknowledge people and I love to be aknowledged.

Jesus says in Matthew 5:3 that, "blessed are those who know their need for God."

In January of 2005, I made a resolution to credit God with all the things that happen in my life. Whether or not I was successful is another story, but I intended that year that I needed God and I ought to give Him credit(worship Him) for all the things that happen in my life.

What an important attitude to have! Whether it's "God is blessing me with good things," or "God is trying to teach me through this trial," recognizing our need for God puts us in a "blessed" position. Jesus is the one that said that!

It's a "blessing" to know that God--the FAITHFUL, ALL-POWERFUL, ALL-KNOWING, Ruler over EVERYTHING--is the one that supplies for and satisfies my every need.

I'm blessed to worship God in the midst of my need.

My friend and I were recently discussing about how modern society has evolved to become so integrated with technology. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.
