The Life Of A Worship LeaderSample

Worship in Motion

May my tongue sing of Your word, for all Your commands are righteous. – Psalm 119:172

What causes you to sing? It could come from a melody, a memory, or something from the heart. But deep inside the heart, there is a song that God is singing. Do you hear it? (Psalm 81:2)

As human souls, we tend to gravitate to routines. We are all susceptible in going through the motions. When it comes to the worship of God, He calls us to slow down, He calls us to be calm, He calls us to be still and know that He is God.

When the Lord brings us back to center, we are comforted and protected. He brings to mind all the things He has done for us. When we ask the Lord to guide us and we dive deep into His word, we become saturated in His knowledge and understanding. We are One with the Father through Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

It’s more of a knowing we have with God. An expectation, a joy, and a hope that draws us into communion with Jesus. His desire is for us to be by His side. The movement of His hand brings us out of going through the motions and draws us nearer to Him into His presence.

This deep fellowship with God and the experience of each daily moment with the Lord causes our mouths to sing and tongues to rejoice. It’s not by our words, but by His. Notice: “May my tongue sing of Your word…”

We sing of the word that is implanted in our hearts: His salvation, refuge, strength, and joy. May His hand of mercy draw us deeper into His side. (Colossians 3:16) We worship, not going through the motions, but in motion through Jesus.
