I think we don’t give God authority over minds in a church setting when we get prideful of our role in a church service. For example, I can’t help but notice that many ‘worship bands’ act with an air of entitlement and ego in their attitude rather than acting with the knowledge that they are serving the church body with their gifts and praising the Almighty. We don’t give God authority over our time when we are too busy to notice a brother/sister in need…or maybe we just don’t care. Too often, myself included in this mind you, we see people hungry, hurt, or on the fringes and don’t reach out. We don’t meet the need. Are we missing opportunities to authentically worship the God we serve when we do this? We don’t give God authority over our lives when we follow our own path and completely ignore God’s calling. We cannot worship Him with our lives without giving authority to Him.
Worship is singing songs of praise, yes, but it should also be in every part of our life. Worship is giving authority over to God in every way we can. Micah 6:8 (NLT) “…the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Let your life be worship!
