Something that has been on my heart for some time now is, "finding the intimacy in praise". This is a quote from a prayer on one of Kevin Prosch's songs. Although i am not a fan of Prosch this statement has stuck with me and I see it reflected in our services. I find it frustrating that we cannot seem to break the "barrier" of praise, in this setting I am referring to our faster "praise" songs. Is it a barrier of personality?skill?desire? I don't know the answer to that question and may never, but I pray that God will guide us in this area and allow us to find the intimacy in praise and find His presence from the start of our service to the very end and everywhere in between!!!! i don't want the fast songs in our service to be a vehicle for getting into the worship set, i want it to be as intimate as the worship songs. This may be something only I am contemplating or even praying over, this is just where i am and I pray that we can all find our way on this journey of worship together. Why is that when I have the creator of the universe living in me that I seem to find it difficult to stay in His presence? I want to live in His presence, praise in His presence, worship in His presence. All other things in this life pale in comparison to being with our God.
In Christ,
Steven
