Hey guys....Congrats to the newly parents.

Hope you are having a hot start of the week for the Lord.

What is my attitude towards worship?

V4 “One thing I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.”

When I read this verse today, it felt as if I was hit in the back of my head with a bat. Lately, I have totally lost perspective about worship. My existence is by the grace of God and my sole purpose is to worship God with all my heart. Instead of “seeking to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life” and to be mesmerized by the beauty of the Lord....my perspective without me realizing it has turned from “God centered” to “Man centered”. I was more concerned about being a good leader who produces result. I was so preoccupied trying to manage worship....I don't remember the last time I actually stayed at one place and worshiped God wholeheartedly. I mistakenly thought being exhausted on Sunday nights meant I was doing something right........but my emptiness ever growing inside. Those leaders I used to point fingers growing up in church, somewhere down the line I have become one of them. Here I was thinking I was working for the kingdom of God but I placed your will aside.

Lord forgive me.

I confess you are the light and my salvation, my stronghold of my life.

I will only seek you and Lord, help me realize YOUR house is not just a place I go on Sundays but is everywhere and at anytime. Teach me your way, Lord..lead me in a straight path. If it's your will, help me see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I constantly fall Lord, but I will be strong at heart and wait for you. In your son's name Jesus Christ I pray, Amen
