Worship Fearlessly

Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King.  Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds. Psalm 149: 1-5

Let me tell you a few stories. In 2014 I was a driver for a weekend event for the Krush known as REVIVE. One night I was waiting in the café with the rest of the drivers as the students concluded their lesson and worship service. That night I heard a sound I will never forget- the students were having worship and you could hear the worship leader singing to the kids and the kids singing along to previous songs, but the last song was different a beautiful sound of teenagers praising our Lord louder than the band. All you could hear was students loud and proud singing praises to their King. It was an incredible moment for me. A year later I was a leader for this same event and was right their along side these fearless teens. They taught me how to worship they never stop moving they are 100% in the moment singing to God without fear of what is going on either side of them. In that moment all that matters is the beautiful exchange unfolding with their Savior. Tears stream down their face, hands lifted high, praises pour out of their mouth truly fearless worship. This week I spent time with the Krush at camp and once again those kids worshipped their face off. At every breakfast, lunch, and dinner you could hear the students singing worship songs. Walk anywhere in that camp and you would hear students singing "Victory" or "Taste of Eternity" or a song written by one of their Pastors "Fearless" it would instantly put a smile on your face. Proud that these kids were choose Christ.

How about you? Do you worship fearlessly? Are you in the moment rocking the air drums or clapping along or hands raised giving the glory to God? Or are you worried about what the person beside you would think. Or maybe your running through your grocery list in your head. Maybe you think its dumb or silly, but God calls us to praise His name! Stop worrying about what the person next to you will think! If they don't want you to be devoted in your worship to the King is that really someone you want around you?
