Dribble on Worship

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.
