Our Pictorial Book.

 

Everyone is playing a melody in life – even you. Difference is, are you in tune?

Its incredible when you gain much more than what you bargained for. Instead of just strumming a few chords, last Friday’s workshop on worship and guitar learning was much more than I, for one bargained for.

We have heard countless time of people preaching about what worship is. A lifestyle, a way of glorifying, and the list never stops. But this time, we were taken to an entirely different perspective of worship. The one where worship means something more than a few words  put together called definitions. Much more than that.

Its as if God made all this marvellous creation on planet earth and stepped back to sit and watch our every move while stroking his long white beard.

As rhetorical that statement is, it got me thinking. There are times when we worship, its as if we’re singing and praising someone so far away, like we are some little ant waving to a gigantic human sitting on a throne. That’s almost ridiculous to think about! But it is what most people, I too, have in mind when we worship.

Its as if he only comes once in a while to do some miracle and then leaves.

Isn’t He all around? Isn’t He omnipresent. With what our little minds can comprehend, maybe its time we stop putting God on the little picture book we have so easily created as we grew in our faith. He is right next to you.

Yes, that afternoon, we gained understanding of worship, but most importantly, I, as I can only speak for myself, have torn that one page of my picture book. Its about time I threw the whole book and see if He can surprise me all over again. But one step at a time.

You try now, pull out that pictorial book you have of God, and see if its worth keeping, or else rip it off.
