Rejoice in the LORD, righteous ones; for the praise of the upright is beautiful. With the lyre, give thanks to the LORD; with the ten stringed harp, play music to him; with a new song, sing to him; with shouts of joy, play skillfully. Psalms 33:1-3 ISV
Worship from the depths of our hearts communicates to the Holy one when we live a righteous and upright life. All other form of worship becomes a mundane activity or just another routine we complete to the meet the standards of the world. When we step before GOD in worship , it is not the exterior that is important , it is our heart , the very depths of our soul that matter.
The truth we proclaim in our lives reflect our worship to GOD, our integrity in our workplaces , schools and communities will have to uphold the righteousness and uprightness that King David is speaking about. Thus , coming in on a Sunday to worship GOD with a heart that has ill treated someone, cursed your co-worker and neglected your family cannot communicate nor reflect true worship of GOD.
Before we step before HIM, look deeper and He will show us our weakness, do not pick the guitar, nor hold that mic , go to your brother and sister and seek forgiveness, reconcile and be back with a righteous and upright heart ready to worship GOD in truth and spirit.
We released an album this year , the time it took to get the album out was the time GOD took to bring righteousness and an upright lifestyle in us. When we worked with each other in truth , He brought things to completion. The power of this experience can be reflected only from the testimonies we hear.
Recently , an album that was bought was been played in the owner's car and they dropped of the car at the valet parking in the Hotel. On their return , it took almost 30 minutes for the car to be returned. The attendant who dropped of the car was in tears saying that he was touched by the songs in the album and was worshipping and praising GOD. The owner of the car gave him the CD . This is how GOD works and this our testimony to being true to His calling. We know there will be many more testimonies for this is why GOD changed our hearts so that we could worship with you in truth and spirit where ever you are.
So go out into world , with a righteous and upright heart worshipping GOD with a new song that will lead more people to the redeeming love of His Son Jesus Christ. Worship in Righteousness.
