40 Days of Worship - Day 24

Keep us focused on You, Father!

Scripture: Isaiah 29:13

A cautionary verse for all worshipers in all churches.

We can get so easily focused in church life on the rules, guidelines, even constitutions! We get so intent on making those things work, trying to appease the ‘masses’, that we forget about the WHY and the WHO of what we’re doing here.

I admit it. That was us in this past year. Was some of it necessary? Yes, to a degree. But at what cost do we focus on what we want to keep, what worked in the past, with no regard for the present or future with our King?

Through it all, we had a team that was focused on bringing their very best each week in worship music. I believe our hearts were directed on giving our God our very best in worship, all with the hope of bringing others along with us in the process. We didn’t always hit the mark. None of us do.

Our focus, team, must always be on Him. I pray that we will not have to deal much with those who come and ‘attempt’ to lead worship from a worldly place or out of an angry heart. We have some really good accountability and responsibility in our team to make sure that doesn’t happen. And I say THANK YOU to you for that!

Father, help us today not to focus our attention on things that are really not that important. Especially if anything will take our attention, our focus off of You. God, I pray that our team would be laser focused on seeking Your heart and Your desire for FBC Poky. Use us God for Your glory!
