I Got Skills

Posted by Worship Team

Psalm 33:2-4 (NIV)
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.

I often think about this and have to reevaluate this from time to time. Some people can be extremely skillfull but may not have a heart for worship. Others have a heart of worship but sound terrible. For one thing, I'm so glad that God is able to hear our heart and not necessarily our pitch or tonality.

I find it difficult sometimes, as I’m working on "bettering" my skills, to avoid the pitfalls of pride. Now I'm not saying I'm awesome, but I have a talent given to me from God. So right now, "Skillfully" means to me... that every technical advancement in my playing be credited to God, that the sounds I make are pleasing to Spirit and that I always strive to worship from my heart.

There is a challenge here and it's different for every musician. But what ever that is, step up. Find the motivation and incentive. I'll do the same.
