I just found the new focus of my week, month, year, LIFE! WORSHIPing God. I am a veteran Christian, a life-long believer. Since I could believe, I was believing in God!! Prayers were practically the first words upon my lips. And yet, I never took this particular concept about worshiping God to heart. Worship is about GOD. Not about me. Not even about things God is doing for me. Worship is about HIM. Therefore, even saying, "I love you so much, God", isn't worship. It's not focused on him, it's focused on me. It could be praise! Praise is about us--our response to what God has done for us, thanking Him, serving Him, but worship is about God and the actual things that he has done!
I'm reading a book right now that is really opening up this whole new world to me, and teaching me how to teach it to children! Teaching Kids Authentic Worship. It's amazing! I highly recommend reading it!!
This research came from a desire for a great worship curriculum to teach to our new Kids Worship Band. We started it with 6 great kids this past Wednesday, March 17th, and we'll be teaching the kids a short worship lesson every week! I'm so excited to really delve into God's Word with these kids, and worship God with them!
