Worship is more than just melodic phrases and passionate riffs—it is a
lifestyle. When I am cradling my guitar
and letting my voice resound, I know I am surrendering my all in worship and I
do not have to think about it. In many
ways, music is my love language. It’s
easy for me. If worship is a lifestyle,
am I experiencing the same reckless abandon in my work and relationships as in
my music? This is the part I struggle
with. Do my words and actions outside my
music reflect a “reverent devotion and allegiance pledged to God” (NLT Study
Bible dictionary)? I wish I could say my
life exudes the characteristics above, but sadly I replace “God” with other
objectives: money, comfort, entertainment, recognition. If only living a life of worship was as simple
as the music… My focus for the remainder
of this semester is to strive for the fulfillment of this idea with God.
