Was That Not Enough? Would You Like More?

Psalms 150:
1Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.


II Chronicles 20:19And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

II Chronicles 5:13:
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

So........praise, music, loud noises, voices raised, people unified and then? The house was filled with a cloud. God was happy and filled the place with a visible sign of His visitation. When was the last time you had a cloud come rolling in on your service?

And I end this lovely Monday wondering aloud to the e-universe at large: Are we professionally adoring God? Or are we professing our adoration for God.

Currently listening to: Unfortunately my General Conference practice CD.

Hey, I just thought this might be a book you would enjoy as a worship leader. It's called Engaging With God: A Biblical Theology of Worship and it's by David Peterson. I haven't read it thoroughly myself, but it purports to speak of worship practices in the Old Testament and how those are appropriately brought over into the New Testament church. Could be a fun read!
