Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful that God has really been working on me over the past few weeks to rediscover my call and love for playing piano. Sometimes when you do something for so long, you tend to just go thru the motions and forget about why you're doing it.

I went to a worship conference about 4 years ago, and I recently found my notes from one of the lectures I attended. Man...I used to be so on fire for Christ. And, I want that back. I want to be passionate about the songs I play in worship...and I want that passion to spill over into the congregation and result in some seriously powerful services. It's time.

Here are a few points that have really been on my heart this week:

1. It is a PRIVILEGE for me to be here and to be serving Jesus.

2. God's #1 desire is that we have fellowship with Him. It is Satan's #1 desire for that fellowship not to occur.

3. If Satan can't make you bad, he'll make you busy...too busy to pray, too busy to fellowship, too busy to practice, too busy to advance your skills.

4. We must stay ammo'd up!!! Don't just show up: come prayed up, come ready to be used, and come EXPECTING a supernatural worship experience!

5. You can't take other people where you haven't already been. If you want to take people to the throne of God in worship, you must have already been there!

6. It's not about me. It's about if God is being honored in my worship.

7. Don't quit. As long as you have breath, God will use you. He gave us certain abiities, and He has equipped us to use them!

So, that's what I'm thankful for, today. What about you?

One day at a time,
Sarah
